The Jasper Ndubuaku-led Imo State Committee on the Recovery of Moveable Assets belonging to the State Government have made a breakthrough on their job.
Acting on a tip-off, the team discovered a massive warehouse on Friday afternoon.
The facility, located along Aba Road, is alleged to be belonging to Nkechi, wife of former Governor, Rochas Okorocha.
Okorocha is now the senator representing Imo West Senatorial district.
Eye witness report says that it took a spirited intervention to stop the youths from setting the entire warehouse ablaze.
The discovery of the warehouse follows the sealing off of an estate also allegedly owned by Nkechi.
The property is located in the Akachi area of Owerri, the state capital.
The blocks of flat and bungalow were allegedly built with state funds and proceeds of corruption.
It was recalled that EFCC, had on Wednesday confirmed the seizure of assets and properties linked to Okorocha, his wife, daughter as well as associates including the son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, who served as his Chief of Staff.
A statement by its spokesman, Tony Orilade said “the marking of the properties which is a fall-out of our painstaking investigation, is as a result of the failure of the suspects to honour the Commission’s invitation for questioning on the propriety of their acquisition”.
