Former Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha has alleged that the seige on his Abuja home by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC is an attempt to stop him from attending the presidential screening of the All progressives Congress, APC.
Okorocha raised alarm on Tuesday when operatives of the Anti-graft commission stormed his Abuja home.
Speaking to journalists at his Maitama residence, he called on the Nigerian populace to come to his aid.
He says that he never received any invitation or got court summons from any quarters.
“Frankly speaking, the situation I find myself is a situation of what I call hostage. Policemen and EFCC operatives are currently in my compound and they want to possibly whisk me away… my gate is blocked.
“All I am asking for now is to allow me to go for my screening because I am a Presidential aspirant and our election comes up on Sunday. If I am not allowed to go for this screening, I might miss it.”, he said.
