The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today arrested two
Imo government officials for fraud related charges. The agency
interrogators are currently quizzing the Imo state commissioner of
finance, Deacon, Okafor Chike John and the accountant general of the
state, Eche Ezenna George.
The two officials are currently in
the Abuja office of the EFCC. It is unclear how the agency effected the
arrest of the two officials however, a source at the EFCC office in
Abuja involved in the investigations said their arrest is linked to a
loan transaction from Zenith bank involving N47 billion.
The
officials are being interrogated regarding their activities with the
current regime of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state. The governor
enjoys constitutional immunity from arrest and prosecution.
