Rochas Okorocha, former governor
of Imo state, says officials in the government of Emeka Ihedioha, his
successor, are looting goods at All-in Supermarket owned by his wife.
The supermarket, which has been
sealed by the operatives of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is
in Owerri, the state capital.
In a statement issued on his
behalf by Sam Onwuemeodo, his spokesman, Okorocha alleged that officials of
Ihedioha’s government visited the property after it was sealed by the EFCC.
“This is to inform all men and
women of goodwill, that barely two days after the agents of the Economic &
Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, had marked the ALL – IN SHOP owned by the
wife of the former governor, Dr. Mrs. Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha, located at Naze
near Owerri, for investigation also following Flood of Petitions written to the
Commission by the PDP government in the State, the leader and members of the
government’s Committee on the ‘Recovery of Government Property’ invaded the
shop today being Friday, July 26, 2019, and looted the goods there, including
the ones inside the containers parked inside the premises of the Shop,” the
statement read.
“We had told all those who cared
to hear us that the PDP government in the state is out for witch-hunting just
to intimidate opponents, otherwise why invading and looting a shop with
furniture and baby goods, already marked for investigation by the EFCC.
“And the containers they looted
have been in the premises of the shop before the EFCC agents came and marked
the shop for investigation last Tuesday. The question now is, what if at the
end of the day, the EFCC’s investigation establishes that this shop has no
relationship with the last administration.”
He accused the committee set up
by Ihedioha to recover properties which were “looted” by the previous
administration of witch-hunt.
The committee is led by Jasper
Ndubuaku.
“Obviously, Jasper Ndubuka and
his gang are not recovering any property but are on a looting spree. They were
the ones who petitioned the EFCC. And EFCC came and marked the investments they
had mentioned in their petitions for investigation,” he said.
“Then, why going to loot the same
establishments marked by EFCC for investigation? If Governor Ihedioha had asked
questions and if he meant well, he would not have entrusted such sensitive task
into the hands of a man like Jasper Ndubuaku.”
