The immediate past governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has denied the rumour that he was arrested along with his wife by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
According to him, there was no cause for the rumoured arrest.
Okorocha stated that if for any reason, he was invited by the anti-graft body, he would honour it.
The former governor made his remark in a statement by his media aide, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo in Owerri, on Thursday, over rumour of his arrest.
His words: “We read from social media and some on-line news platforms that the EFCC has arrested the former Governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha, the wife, Nkechi Okorocha, and one of the brothers, Okey Okorocha, today, Thursday, May 30.
“We would not delay to state that the story of our arrest is not true. It is totally false. It has no iota or atom of truth.
“Simply put, former Governor Rochas Okorocha, the wife Nneoma and brother Okey, have not been arrested by the omission.
“We contend that the EFCC is a responsible national institution established by the law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and must not be associated with lies.
“If they invite the former governor, his wife or any member of his family for interrogation in the course of their investigation, they would honour such invitations.
“And if the Commission decides to also come for any reason, they are also on the right path since it is on a national assignment and they are not at war with anybody.’’
