EFCC Blocking Me From Presidential Screening — Okorocha

Alleged Fraud: Court Rejects Okorocha’s Bail Plea

Former governor of Imo State and presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rochas Okorocha has raised an alarm that he’s currently under siege.

Gatekeepers News reports that Okorocha said this while speaking with journalists at his Maitama residence in Abuja.

He called on the stakeholders in the country to prevail on the operatives of EFCC to vacate his residence.

Okorocha wondered why his house would be invaded on the screening day of all the Presidential aspirants of APC, saying he never received any invitation or got court summons from any quarters.

Okorocha said, ”Frankly speaking, the situation I find myself is a situation of what I call hostage. Policemen and EFCC operatives are currently in my compound and they want to possibly whisk me away… my gate is blocked.

”All I am asking for now is to allow me to go for my screening because I am a Presidential aspirant and our election comes up on Sunday. If I am not allowed to go for this screening, I might miss it.

”I am not an unknown person in the country. I have an address and people know me in the country. All what it takes for the EFCC is to send me an invitation and I will gladly oblige.”
