EFCC Arraigns Ex-Abia Gov Orji And 4 Others Over Alleged Diversion Of N60.85bn Public Funds

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arraigned former Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji, along with his son, Chinedum Orji, and three others on charges of money laundering and corruption involving ₦60.85 billion.


 The arraignment took place at the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, where the defendants faced a 16-count charge, including conspiracy, official corruption, and diversion of public funds.

The charges stem from alleged financial irregularities during Theodore Orji's tenure as governor between 2007 and 2015. The EFCC accused the defendants of misappropriating funds allocated for security votes and infrastructure, as well as funds from the Paris Club Refund.
 All defendants pleaded not guilty, and the court granted them bail of ₦50 million each, with conditions such as providing sureties and surrendering their international passports.

The trial is set to commence in June 2025.....
