Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo State has failed in his bid to stop the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from investigating him on alleged financial misconduct.
Okorocha had prayed the court to grant him an injunction to prevent the investigation, citing that it is unconstitutional for the EFCC to investigate him on the same matter a panel is currently investigating but the court refuse to grant his prayers.
The Imo state government had set up a panel to review all financial transactions of the state during the eight-year administration of the former Governor, Rochas Okorocha, now a senator.
However, the court refused to grant his request and adjourned till July 14 for further proceedings.
