EFCC has arrested the former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim..Mr. Ohakim, governor between 2007 and 2011, was arrested Thursday at
about 10.05 am at his residence in the Asokoro district of Abuja.
A source at the commission said an invitation was sent to the former governor but that he failed to turn up Wednesday as advised.
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC operatives, who had been on his trail for days, our source said, stormed his residence Thursday and drove him in an unmarked car to the commission’s headquarters in the Maitama district of the nation’s capital.
He is currently being detained, with his interrogation expected to begin later in the day.
The source said the former governor has questions to answer concerning a number of property allegedly traced to him.
Also, a former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has willingly surrendered himself for questioning almost the same time Mr. Ohakim was brought into the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja.
He is currently been quizzed by the commission’s operatives over alleged bribery and money laundering offences.

ohakim should be freed...he has done nothing wrong or is it bad dat he was traced to some properties? every one of this pple in one way or the other is guilty of this..Nigerians should stop the guessing story and prove their points based on fact. Ohakim has given me nothing but am sure he is not guilty of the crime.
