Former Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha, has denied reports claiming that some of his aides had gone into
hiding to evade arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Reports had it that aides of the
former governor-turned-senator had disappeared from the state ostensibly to
avoid being arrested by personnel of the anti-corruption agency.
But Okorocha, in a statement
issued by his media aide, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, described the report as “totally
false”.
“The report claiming that my aides
have gone into hiding did not mention any of my aides alleged to have gone into
hiding.
“The report has no iota of truth
because no name was mentioned. In the whole story, the reporter could not
mention any of the aides or the EFCC officials who came to Imo, to arrest them.
“The report did not mention the
offence which my aides committed, that made EFCC to come to Imo,” the statement
added.
He accused the purveyors of the
report of mischief, and described the attitude as “sad and tragic”.
“EFCC does not need to come to
Imo for any of my aides; all the agency needs to do is to send an invitation
and it will be honoured,” the statement said.
