Former governor of Imo State, Ihedi Ohakim, did not show up at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday to clarify some issues in a probe of his administration.
Ohakim,
who was scheduled to visit the Abuja headquarters of the commission, was
summoned to answer questions in an ongoing investigation into
allegations of corruption and embezzlement by his government.
Similarly,
a former governor of Ebonyi State, Martin Elechi, was grilled for the
second day running by EFCC operatives over allegations of funds
misappropriation by his government.
Elechi, who left the commission around 4.30pm, is expected to visit again next week.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren,
confirmed that Elechi was again interrogated, adding that he may be
needed for further questioning next week.
Uwujaren stated that Ikedi is expected to shed light on issues in an old case being investigated by the anti-graft agency.
He said,
“We were expecting former governor of Imo State, Ihedi Ohaki today
(Wednesday) to come and shed light on some issues in an old case we have
been investigating. We are about rounding off the investigation and we
need him to clarify some issues, but he didn’t show up, he may still
come today or tomorrow.
“Elechi
was at our office today in continuation of the questioning on some
issues we are investigating; he came in the morning and was released
later, but we are expecting him again next week.”
