A court on Friday refused to grant the bail application of a former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha who was dramatically arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently.
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, declined to grant bail to Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo State, pending the outcome of a lawsuit he filed against the federal government.
The former governor’s appeal to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to release him on bail was denied by Justice Inyang Ekwo.
Justice Ekwo stated in a brief ruling on Okorocha’s bail application that he was not inclined to admit the petitioner to bail.
Rather, the judge ordered Okorocha to notify the Federal Government of his imprisonment and to appear in court to defend himself.
