After spending two nights in its custody, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday, released former governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha on administrative bail.
The terms of the bail had to be varied by the EFCC before Senator Okorocha could meet the terms and be able to go home after spending 48 hours with his interrogators.
Initially, the anti-graft agency demanded that the former governor produced two former governors or two serving senators from the South East as a condition for his bail but he objected to it on the grounds that it would be difficult to achieve that within the short period at his disposal.
Based on the objection, Okorocha’s legal team filed for a variation of the bail conditions, which the EFCC finally granted.
The former governor was able to produce a ranking Senator from the Northeast as a guarantor before he was released from EFCC custody.
