Nigeria’s foremost anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has failed to free the embattled former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, despite meeting his bail conditions.
The governor’s counsel, Steve Asimobi, made the disclosure in an interview with PUNCH on Tuesday.
He said the action of EFCC amounts to lawlessness.
Asimobi said, “This is lawlessness taken too far. We have met the bail conditions, and the judge has written a note to the EFCC to release Senator Rochas Okorocha, but the anti-graft agency has refused to release him, claiming that the person in charge was not on seat.”
Meanwhile, supporters of the embattled senator stormed the Transcorp Hilton Hotel venue of the All Progressives Congress presidential screening on Tuesday night.
The restless delegation strolled in at about 8:45pm, saying they were there to show solidarity for the embattled aspirant, who, they claimed, would still make an appearance at the screening tonight.
