There is no truth in the story making the rounds that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) have staged a crackdown on former Imo governor Rochas Okorocha, his wife Nkechi and some other members of his family.

A report, shared by multiple news platforms claimed that the EFCC arrested Okorochaโ€™s wife Nkechi and other relations, Gerald Okorocha and Okey Okorocha in Ogboko, Okorochaโ€™s hometown.

The report also claimed that the commission has sealed Okorochaโ€™s Eastern Palm University Ogboko.

When asked to confirm the report, according to PM News, an EFCC source said the whole story was concocted.

โ€œIt is fake newsโ€, he said.

Okorocha, a well-known philanthropist before being elected in 2011, ruled Imo till 28 May 2019. He was chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum.
