Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, granted bail to a former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha.

Okorocha was arraigned on Monday, May 30, 2022, alongside Anyim Nyerere (a.k.a Anyim Chinenye), Naphtali International Ltd, Perfect Finish Multi Projects Ltd, Consolid Projects Consulting Ltd, Pramif International Ltd and Legend World Concepts Ltd on 17-count
charge of stealing, conspiracy and money laundering to the tune of N3,147,000,000.00 (Three billion, One Hundred and Forty Seven Million Naira).

At today sitting, counsel for the first defendant, Oke, Amaechi, SAN, prayed the court to grant the defendant bail, arguing that it is his constitutional right.

But counsel for the prosecution, Cosmos Ugwu had opposed the bail application on the grounds that the first defendant did not keep the terms of the administrative bail granted him by the Commission.
