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.
