A suit by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against a former governor of Imo State Senator Rochas Okorocha has been dismissed by the court.
[ad]
A Federal Capital Territory High Court has dismissed the case and described the EFCC’s charges of fraud and abuse of office against Okorocha as an abuse of judicial process.

Justice Yusuf Halilu premised his judgement on the fact that the EFCC had filed a similar charge against the former Imo State governor at the Federal high court, which case was decided upon in favour of the former governor in December last year.
