BREAKING: Okorocha Beats Deadline, Arrives For APC Presidential Screening

Rochas Okorocha has arrived in Abuja for the presidential screening of the All Progressives Congress.

After being arrested and imprisoned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission last week Tuesday, Mr Okorocha was in risk of missing the two-day practice.

On Tuesday morning, however, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail in the amount of N500 million, with a guarantee in the same amount.

The EFCC has filed a 17-count charge against the former governor, with a total value of N2.9 billion.

He is accused of scheming to steal from the public coffers with others, including a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and five companies.

Mr Okorocha has stated that he is innocent of any misconduct.
