Former Imo State Governor and serving senator, Rochas Okorocha has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over money laundering.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, told newsmen on Tuesday that Okorocha was arrested in Abuja.

When asked, the EFCC official said, “It is true, he (Okorocha) was arrested today in Abuja but we are not giving details.”

Okorocha’s latest arrest is coming weeks after operatives of the Imo State Police Command arrested him in February for allegedly unsealing Spring Palm Estate linked to his wife, Nkechi.

Imo State Government sealed the estate and other properties it claimed to have been “diverted” by Okorocha and his family members but the Senator has since said the properties were legitimately his own and that of his family members.

The ex-governor has been at loggerheads with his successor, Hope Uzodinma, who has vowed to recover all “diverted” assets.
