EFCC arrests former Delta governor Ifeanyi Okowa

Ifeanyi Okowa, the former governor of Delta State, has been taken into custody by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC. Due to allegations of financial mismanagement, the previous governor was placed under arrest. 

According to the DAILY POST, the former governor was detained by anti-graft agency men for allegedly stealing N1.3 trillion. 

According to reports, the sum represents a portion of the 13 percent derivation money designated for states that produce oil. 

Allegedly, the money was misappropriated from 2015 to 2023. When Okowa showed up at the EFCC headquarters after being invited to do so, he was reportedly detained in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
