A source with EFCC told BloomGist that their investigation has focused on illegal transfer of goverment's money available through “capital and bond markets” which the Governor accessed through his position.
The source fourther revealed to BloomGist that their inquiries lead their investigators to several properties in his name, “which was most likely for the purposes of laundering money.” This official, however, was cautious to say that the investigation was ongoing.
The Bloom Gist learned the former Governor Ohakim is still on detention and continues to be interrogated by EFCC officials.
“this has been a long running investigation leading to the arrest of Ohakim” and that the EFCC had previously “arrested [his] Commissioners, who provided statements [to EFCC agents] which lead to the arrest of Ohakim.”
