The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
released the former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha after he spent two
nights in detention.
Okorocha was released on Thursday evening, according to
Daily Trust.
The former Governor is presently at his Maitama residence in
Abuja.
Recall that the EFCC invited Okorocha on Tuesday for questioning.
Okorocha, who governed Imo between 2011 and 2019, has been
accused of embezzlement and misappropriation of state funds by the Governor of
Imo State, Hope Uzodinma.
In February, the lawmaker accused Uzodinma of unleashing the
EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) against him.
Okorocha refuted the allegations, saying the state
government had not been able to prove corruption allegations against him and
his family in court.
