After about nine hours of siege to his Maitama residence in Abuja, earlier on Tuesday, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, finally arrested former Governor Rochas Okorocha.

According to reports, the embattled ex-Imo governor was whisked away by EFCC operatives, who shot sporadically to disperse a crowd of supporters who had come to show solidarity with the Imo Senator.

The arrest comes days to the APC presidential screening for aspirants, and with the latest development, Okorocha, a presidential aspirant, may miss the exercise.
