JUST IN: EFCC Arrests Former Abia Governor Orji At Abuja Airport

The EFCC has arrested a former Abia governor.

Glamtush reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFC) has arrested a former governor of Abia State, Senator Theodore Orji at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

This online platform gathered that the ex-governor, who has been on the commission’s watch list, was intercepted at about 10 am this morning and brought to the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja, for the continuation of his interrogation.

Orji is presently being quizzed alongside his son, Chinedu, who is the Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly.

Chinedu turned himself in this afternoon upon learning of the arrest of his father.

Senator Orji and his sons, Chinedu and Ogbonna, are under investigation by the EFCC for alleged misappropriation of public funds and money laundering to the tune of N551 billion.

Other issues relate to the alleged mismanagement of N2bn Ecological Fund and the conversion of Sure-P funds.
