Former Governor of Ekiti State,
Ayodele Fayose, on Thursday reacted to report alleging that the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, picked up Okorocha, the immediate past
governor of Imo State, and his wife, Nkechi.
Reports had emerged on Thursday
that the anti-graft agency arrested Okorocha’s wife and sealed an apartment in
Eastern Palm University, Ogboko area of the state.
However EFCC’s spokesman, Tony Orilade, refuted the claims, describing the report as
“fake news”.
Orilade had said, ”Such report
that Okorocha and wife have been arrested is fake news, disregard it.”
Reacting to the reported arrest,
Fayose urged Okorocha to surrender himself to the anti-graft agency as he did.
In a tweet, Fayose wrote: “Just
reading that Okorocha was arrested by EFCC. True or not, we knew this day will
come.
“However, I welcome him to the
EFCC Alumni and enjoin the commission not to look away from Amosun too.
While I encourage them to
surrender themselves as I did, I welcome Mr Okorocha to the club.”
