EFCC Urged to Prosecute Former Abia State Governors for Financial Irregularities
Civil society organizations and youth groups have filed a lawsuit in the Federal High Court in Abuja, requesting a mandamus order to compel the EFCC to prosecute former Abia State governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji, and Okezie Ikpeazu for financial irregularities. The groups allege massive financial mismanagement amounting to approximately N1 trillion, leading to stalled development projects, unpaid salaries, and pension arrears in Abia State.
Despite prior investigations by the EFCC, formal criminal charges have not been filed, prompting legal intervention to expedite justice.
