Okorocha’s absence stalls arraignment in ‘N5.7bn fraud’ case
A federal high court in Abuja has fixed March 28 for the arraignment of Rochas Okorocha, senator representing Imo west, over allegations of fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on January 31, filed a 17-count charge against the former Imo governor before a federal high court in Abuja.
The charge against Okorocha came hours after he formally declared his intention to run for president.
According to the EFCC, the former Imo governor allegedly conspired with others, including a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and five companies, to steal N2.9 billion public funds.
“We have made several efforts to serve him with the charge but we have been unable to effect service,” he said.
Ugwu asked the court for an adjournment to enable him to effect service on the former governor.
All other defendants were present and had legal representation in court.
Inyang Ekwo, the judge, adjourned the matter to March 28 for arraignment.
