Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, stormed the residence of former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha.

The anti-graft agency operatives stormed the residence of the former governor in the Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to arrest him.

The EFCC operatives were seen in a video operating within the premises of the former governor.

They insisted that Okorocha, who is seeking to contest the presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), should submit himself for arrest or honor a long-standing invitation to their office.

Reacting to the attempt to arrest him, the former governor told newsmen that he was being held hostage by the EFCC operatives.

He condemned the action of the team that has come to arrest him and vowed to remain indoors until he sees a warrant of arrest.

“I am (being) held hostage here, I would say,” Okorocha lamented.

“I have enquired if they have an arrest warrant or not and I am supposed to be getting ready for screening.

“I don’t know what is happening; unfortunately, I will be here until I know what they want, I want to see a warrant of arrest or court order.”
