Former Imo state governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha’s daughter, Uloma Nwosu, has spoken on her father’s arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It can be recalled that EFCC invaded the Abuja residence of the presidential aspirant on Tuesday, May 24, to effect his arrest after he reportedly jumped bail and refused to accept court processes from the commission.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV today May 25, Uloma claimed the EFCC operatives had no legal justification to arrest her dad.
According to her, they failed to present any legal document or arrest warrant to justify breaking into their Abuja home and forcefully arresting the politician.
“The way they (EFCC operatives) had presented themselves did not show that it was something that was official, because there was no legal documents supporting their action. So you could say it was illegal battery or whatever we may call it. At this point, I was also scared as well, because it didn’t look official, it didn’t look like something that was done right. So of course we were afraid for His Excellency’s life, and that is why he requested something that was simple: ‘give us a document, give us a paper, a court order.” Uloma said.
Speaking further, she added that no one has heard from him since he was arrested at about 6.30pm on Tuesday.
