Okorocha Flee Nigeria as EFCC Queries 2bn Bail out Fund Diversion

Imo state governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has fled out of the country as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) beams the searchlight on the alleged diversion of overN2 billion from the bailout fund given to the state by the federal government for the payment of civil servants salaries.

Okorocha, who had expressed regrets for accessing the bailout fund from the federal government lamented that the money had put the statein a mess.

According to him, the N26 billion the state took from the Federal Government that was used to pay agitating workers has put Imo in trouble as more money is being deducted from the state’s federal allocation than anticipated.
