The Former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has gone on record to say that no anti-corruption agency in the country can probe him.
Amaechi along with some other former governors: Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano);
Sullivan Chime (Enugu); Babatunde Fashola (Lagos); Godswill Akpabio
(Akwa Ibom); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Shehu Shema (Katsina) and Martin
Elechi of Ebonyi State were being probed by the Independent Corrupt
Practices and related offences Commission.
However, Chief Tony Okocha, a former aide to Amaechi, said the
ex-governor was not afraid of ICPC or the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission as long as the probe was not a witch-hunt.
Okocha, however recalled that the ICPC and the EFCC had not vacated a
court order stopping any of them from investigating any Rivers
Government official and as such could not probe him.
He stated that Governor Nyesom Wike was a beneficiary of such order from
the court, adding that until the court injunction was vacated, it would
be illegal for the ICPC to probe his boss.
