Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has flown out of Nigeria to an undisclosed country.
Thisday reported on Friday that Okorocha travelled abroad as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seeks to unravel how over N2 billion from the bailout fund given to Imo by the federal government for the payment of civil servants salaries was diverted.
A statement issued on Thursday by the anti-graft agency named the suspects as: Obi Paschal Chigozie, Principal Secretary to the Governor of Imo state, Uzoho Casmir, Director of Finance and Iheoma Kenneth, Treasurer.
EFCC added that “their arrest followed an investigation into the alleged diversion of the said money which revealed that, the cashier had made cash withdrawal of N456.532m between September 3, 2015 and October 10, 2015 from the government house account domiciled in Zenith Bank.
“However, it was revealed that the said amount was given to an aide of the chief of staff to the governor, following approval and directive by the principal secretary to the governor.”
The EFCC assured that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.
Dailypost cullage.
I dont want to believe that Rochas ran away..His trip was prolly already planned.
I dont know if he embezzled or aided the embezzlers. What I don't like is people who pretend be nice to gain the trust of people only to rip them off. Okorocha is one man I have never liked for day even as he displayed his "work of mercy". Good morning Mrs Korkus
ReplyDeleteI don't believe dis gist.
DeleteOne of his aids told me he was going to Saudi Arabia yesterday. Oga sir hope say u no join dey steal nija money
DeleteEFCC na now una wake up. Rochas okorocha diverts billions abroad monthly using different people. Should I mention names? Rochas criminality is ingenious. I know God is not sleeping
DeleteOkorocha is a bigger thief than 90% of the people being prosecuted right now.
DeleteStella, u see that principal secretary, ehn that man has nothing less than 10 (2 storey building each) that he rented out! That's the man he uses to divert funds in imo state.. useless obi paschal that employed his relations that are illiterates to litter the principal office bcos he is the Secretary mtcheeww
ReplyDeleteGood let them catch him. Wicked man. Stella can you imagine civil servant's that earn lets assume 90k (because only permanent secretaries earn 120 or so) after taxes, he sent them a memorable this week that hence forth they will only be paid 70% of their salaries ie 60 something thousand. People with children and responsibilities. God will punish Rochas. Familiocracy as some call his Government.

ReplyDeleteImagine that
ReplyDeleteInstead of him to pay salaries, he's stealing money.
The heart of man is desperately wicked!!!
Stella u better believe it
ReplyDeletePlan trip fire
Thieves run...
ReplyDeleteI wonder y nigeria politicians are just too heartless.
ReplyDeleteY divert funds meant for civil servants?
4 over 7months,rochas has refused to pay them their salary whereas the money is there.
No peace 4 the wicked....bear that in mind Mr frying pan head #rochas
They will sweep it under the carpet because he's an apc member.
Its coincidental.....
ReplyDeleteU squandered the money initially meant for their payment. Fine. Them give u another, u steal thief am. Nobody should just tell me rochas isn't involved in dis theft. Ate there no grounds for impeachment anymore. This rochas has just displayed that he's a chronic thief that will never change.
ReplyDeleteUseless overbloated man
Rochas onyeoshi. Thief. He had the heart to pocket the bailout fund? While the civil servants and pensioners are wallowing in poverty over unpaid salaries and pensions? This man is wicked. Pensioners in that state haven't been paid a dime for almost 2years yet all his wife could do is convene a meeting of governors wife's to squander more public funds. Rochas you are a disgrace. God will punish and may the dead pensioners who died of one ailment or the other due to lack of funds to access better health care haunt u and your family forever. Evil man. This Nan has turned imo stare into a family business. Agaracha must come back.
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that this will be swept under the carpet soon because, Rochas belong to Buhari's inner caucus. Mind you Pascal has been released and they are already denying the incident happened. God please listen to the cry of Imolites. Free them from this bondage called Rochas.
ReplyDeleteBut Rochas was at d Olu Ibadan corronation yestetday na. Pz at what time did travel ?
