Former Imo Gov, Ikedi Ohakim in EFCC Net

Imo State former governor, Ikedi Ohakim, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Mr. Ohakim, governor between 2007 and 2011, was arrested Thursday at about 10.05 am at his residence in the Asokoro district of Abuja.

A source at the commission said an invitation was sent to the former governor but that he failed to turn up Wednesday as advised. EFCC operatives, who had been on his trail for days, stormed his residence Thursday and drove him in an unmarked car to the commission’s headquarters in the Maitama district of the nation’s capital.

He is currently being detained, with his interrogation expected to begin later in the day. The source said the former governor has questions to answer concerning a number of property allegedly traced to him. Also, a former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has willingly surrendered himself for questioning
