A former Imo State governor, Ihedi Ohakim, was
on Thursday arrested by operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Ohakim, who was scheduled to visit the EFCC
office in Abuja on Wednesday, had shunned the
invitation, prompting the commission to pick him
up to clarify and answer questions on an ongoing
investigation into allegations of corruption and
embezzlement by his government.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren,
confirmed that Ohakim is in their custody.
