EFCC Seizes Properties Traced To Ex- Governor Okorocha And Family
These are trying times for the immediate past governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorochas and his family members as the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday continued the sealing off landed properties they allegedly acquired.
The crime fighting agency said the moved was as a result of painstaking investigation, and as a result of the failure of those to whom they were traced to, to honour the EFCC’s invitation for interrogation.
Operatives neither “raided” nor “harassed” anyone in the course of the action.
The properties include: Dews of Hope Hospital traced to Dr. Paschal Obi, ex-Principal Secretary to Okorocha; Market Square Supermarket; All in One Shop, and premises belonging to Imo State Broadcasting Corporation now hosting Rochas Foundation College owned by Senator Okorocha.
Others include: East High Academy and East High College, owned by Okorocha’s daughter, Uloma Okorocha-Nwosu; Royal Spring Palm Hotel and Apartment, a 16 block cum 96 flats and eight bungalow multi-million Naira estate traced to Okorocha’s wife.
