Topnaija.NG had reported that the  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has put a siege on the Abuja home of the former Governor of  Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha.

The former Governor, after a long siege to his Maitama residence in the Federal Capital Territory, was arrested in Abuja, on Tuesday.

The EFCC officers took away the former governor at exactly 06:48 pm in their vehicle after breaking into his living room.

Before the officers broke in, Okorocha, in a live video made on his official Facebook Page, said officers of the commission had broken all his bulletproof doors.

He said, “The EFCC operatives are here with some gunmen and they have broken all my bulletproof doors. This may be my last appearance because I don’t know what they want to do.”

Earlier on, security operatives accompanying officials of the EFCC shot sporadically to disperse female supporters protesting at the ex-governor’s home in a show of solidarity.

The women had come to protest the continued siege on Okorocha’s residence by the operatives, demanding an end to the siege.
