The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly arrested former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa over allegations of a massive 1.3 trillion naira fraud.
The former governor is being investigated in connection with alleged financial mismanagement and embezzlement during his tenure.
The EFCC’s probe centers on funds that were reportedly allocated for state development projects and public welfare but were allegedly diverted or misappropriated.
This arrest has sparked significant public interest, as it underscores ongoing efforts by the EFCC to combat corruption and hold former public officials accountable.
The investigation is expected to delve into the financial dealings and records of Okowa’s administration.
The former governor may face formal charges if evidence substantiates the allegations, and the case could have implications for ongoing anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria.
