My father didn\u2019t even try to travel or run away. The EFCC has his international passport. He has been going about his duties in the National Assembly and attending other functions, so how could he have jumped bail,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe way they had presented themselves, we weren\u2019t sure that it was official. There was no legal document supporting their action. I was there, and I was scared as well. We were afraid for his Excellency\u2019s life.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cHe said something that was simple to them. Give us a document or a court paper. Remember that the same day that my father declared for Presidency on January 30th, was the same day the EFCC came up with the 17 count charges. And yesterday that he was supposed to go for the presidential screening of his party, they came again with no supporting document,\u201d she lamented.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Also speaking on the same platform on Wednesday, Ebunola Martins, Spokesperson, Rochas Okorocha New Nigeria Campaign Group, noted that the EFCC disregarded a standing Court Order preventing it from harassing Okorocha or invading his premises.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He argued that the EFCC was out with a clear agenda to stop his principal from taking part in the screening, given his growing popularity.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Insisting that his principal never stole money as claimed by the EFCC, he said \u201chow can the EFCC assume that a man who left over N48bn in the Imo State account after he left office as Governor steal just N2.9bn? Is he a fool?\u201d Martins queried.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uloma Nwosu, daughter of Rochas Okorocha, a former Governor of Imo State and presidential aspirant in the forthcoming 2023 election, has explained that her father was scared of following officials&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
