Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday after spending two nights in detention.
Okorocha’s aide disclosed that the former governor was released around 5:45 pm, adding that he’s currently in his Maitama residence in Abuja.
The spokesman of the anti-graft agency, Wilson Uwujaren, when contacted, said he would get back on the development.
It would be recalled that the EFCC operatives, on Tuesday, arrested Okorocha, who is the senator representing Imo North, at about 4:10 pm at his Unity House office located at Garki, Abuja.
Okorocha, who governed Imo between 2011 and 2019, has been accused of embezzlement and misappropriation, an allegation he has refuted.
