Former governor of Imo State, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, has been granted bail by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after he was arrested this morning by operatives following his refusal to honour an earlier invitation.
Ohakim spent about five hours at the EFCC headquarters in Maitama.
He expressed surprise that “overzealous officials of the anti-graft Agency could go ahead to invade his house with paid media men in order to score cheap points and achieve some credibility stunts.”
Ohakim said that he is always ready to honour any invitation extended to him by all legitimate agencies of government, since he does not have any skeletons in his cupboard.
He warned however, that all public officials, especially those charged with the sensitive responsibility of fighting graft must not allow themselves to be used as pawns, by desperate political renegades, who cling to the smallest straw for political survival and relevance.
