These are trying times for the immediate past governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha and his family members as the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday continued the sealing off landed properties they allegedly acquired.
The crime fighting agency said the moved was as a result of painstaking investigation, and as a result of the failure of those to whom they were traced to, to honour the EFCC’s invitation for interrogation.
