The Imo State government through one of its social media
influencers, Ezeafurukwe Paul Ihunanya has issued a document itemizing Imo’s
property allegedly looted by former governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.
The press release which went viral on various social media
platforms on Tuesday, said that the EFCC will not have any reason not to arrest
and prosecute the former governor.
It listed among other alleged loots N59.6billion taken from
local government system by Okorocha, the Eastern Palm University built with Imo
money but personalised by him, N40billion siphoned through the unexecuted 27
general hospitals, the old IBC premises converted to Rochas College of Africa,
Westbrook hotels built by Okorocha’s son-in-law, Uche Nwosu with Imo money, the
ReachFM radio owned by Uche Nwosu.
The release went on, “Tweeter bites forcefully acquired from
Mr. Fans by Okorocha’s sister, Geraldine, the Spibat estate most of which land
forcefully taken from Mbieri and Orji people, House of Freeda malls in Owerri,
Abuja and Lagos built by Uloma, Uche Nwosu’s wife, recovery of ISOPADEC funds
and 13% oil derivation which amounts to over N20billion, recovery of ITC
vehicles and investments looted by Okorocha among other loots.”
Meanwhile, in responding to the allegations, the Special
Adviser on Media to the former governor, Sam Onwuemeodo said that “no court of
competent jurisdiction had ordered the EFCC to recover even a pin from the
ex-governor Okorocha.”
He said those behind the gimmicks could not reason to the
extent of knowing that if the court at any level, had ordered EFCC to recover
all that they listed from Okorocha, the commission would not have again invited
him for questioning.
“Okorocha’s accusers should tell their audience which court
in the land had ordered the EFCC to recover those items and the name of the
presiding Judge,” he said.
The media aide further said the release was a clear
expression of a bottled up envy against the former governor over his
outstanding achievements in eight years.
He said that his (Okorocha’s) critics should bury their
faces in shame and desist from marketing falsehood and taking delight from
blackmailing an innocent man, reminding them that the consequences would be
grave.
