On Friday, the Imo State Commissioner for Finance, Mr.Chike John Okafor and the State Accountant General, Eche Ezenna George were set free from the EFCC net.
As you read this, the duo are presently in Owerri. Chief of Staff to the Imo State Governor, Prince Eze Madumere, MFR confirmed news of their release to IMO STATE BLOG.com. The Chief of Staff disclosed that the officials boarded a flight out of Abuja on Saturday morning and had since arrived Owerri. Though he declined to get into specifics surrounding the arrest, Prince Madumere said that the EFCC was misinformed.
It will be recalled that last week, the EFCC had invited the government functionaries to Abuja. Upon arrival, they were checked in and quizzed over allegations of fraud and other financial misconducts in the state.

Mr. Anonymous, you hide behind shadows to call “all this Owerri Harlots. Do you mean to state all these or all this? You are just a coward by refering a lady that has a different opinion from yours, “all this Owerri harlot.” First of all, how do you know she is a harlot from Owerri? Someone that writes behind a mask is referred to as a coward. What do you really know about Owerri women to call “this Owerri harlots.” You need to have a life and come out of your showdows. Insulting Owerri women exposes your deep level of ignorance.

Whether charges is brought or not, seeds of doubt has been sewn in peoples mind that the administration is not clean.
CREDIBILITY is in tatters.
Many will no longer take the administration serious.
