Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state is under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu confirmed on Monday. The investigation is believed to be very discreet.
Magu said Okorocha’s probe had become necessary to prevent any action that could jeopardise or interfere with the process of the inquiry.
Magu made the disclosure in an interview with Channels TV.
“Of course, we are doing a couple of checks and investigations here and there. We are investigating almost everybody,” he added.
The EFCC boss however said the commission would need to attain a certain level before it can disclose any information about an ongoing investigation.
Okorocha is aware he is being probed secretly.
While commissioning the Court Complex he built in Owerri last week, he begged the judiciary to protect him for his traducers.
