EFCC Affirms Ongoing Probe of Okowa's Alleged Corruption Despite Party Defection

The EFCC confirms the continuation of the probe into corruption allegations against former Delta State Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, unaffected by his recent defection to the APC.

The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, and Director of Legal Prosecution, Sylvanus Tahir, clarified that political affiliations do not influence investigations. Okowa is accused of diverting N1.3 trillion in public funds during his tenure.

The EFCC remains committed to thorough investigations to ensure a strong case in court and restore public confidence in anti-corruption efforts.
