Senator Rochas Okorocha is expected to return to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday to face questioning for alleged money laundering.
The former governor was questioned last Friday according to a source quoted by The PUNCH.

Okorocha was asked to return for further questioning and to provide documents in respect of the allegations against him.
The governor is being investigated for “suspicious transactions carried out by his administration particularly towards the end of his tenure.”
EFCC had sealed some of Okorocha’s property and those belonging to his daughter.
The commission placed Okorocha on its radar in the build-up to the 2019 elections after he allegedly withdrew over N1 billion from the state government coffers to aid the campaign activities of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, whom he wanted as his successor.

The state’s Accountant-General, Uzoho Casmir, was arrested to that effect.
Casmir was alleged to have withdrawn the money from the bank in three tranches of N200 million, N500 million, and N350 million within three days.
