The agency even said that Okorocha has no invitation from them so far and urged people to disregard the rumour making that rounds in the social media that it arrested the former governor on Thursday.

EFCC Spokesman for South East regional office in Enugu, Mr. Chris Oluka who spoke with Vanguard on the development said that whenever he is invited people will be intimated.

“It (the arrest) is not true. There is nothing like that. We have even called our headquarters in Abuja and asked them if they came to arrest here without letting us know and they said they did not.

“You know we’ve been having issues with him but when we formally invite him, people will know, but for now nobody has arrested anybody,” Oluka said.
