Senator Okorocha’s media aide, Mr. Onwuemeodo, said the senator’s arrest was based on an old petition written by the Imo State Government.
“I don’t think EFCC has a new matter with Okorocha,” Mr. Onwuemeodo told ANAEDOONLINE, Tuesday night.
“Remember that after he left as governor, the (Imo) state government wrote petitions against him, the EFCC came and investigated this matter.
“The matter between Okorocha and EFCC has been pending in various courts, it is not a new matter,” he said.
