Dodo, the EFCC counsel, pleaded with the court for time to respond to the processes.<\/p>\n<p>He denied that the EFCC was acting in defiance of the court\u2019s decision, saying the commission had invited Okorocha to pick up his international passport and travel documents, but that the former Imo governor had failed to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Pam, the trial judge, however, said he was not happy with the attitude of the EFCC on the matter, noting that he would not tolerate contempt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI take exception to disobedience. Your organisation (EFCC) should not do anything to the applicant until this matter is determined,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is the order? Obey it. If you are not okay with the judgement, go and appeal it. Don\u2019t allow the drama that took place in my court in the matter between Peter Odili and Nigeria Immigration to take place here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The EFCC had, on January 31, filed a 17-count charge against the former Imo governor before a federal high court in Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>The charge against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/02\/04\/n2-4bn-fraud-charges-buhari-interested-in-taking-up-my-efcc-case-okorocha\/\">Okorocha<\/a> came hours after he formally declared his intention to run for president.<\/p>\n<p>According to the EFCC, the former Imo governor allegedly conspired with others, including a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and five companies, to steal N2.9 billion public funds.<\/p>\n<p>After the fresh charge was filed in court, Okorocha said he had visited\u00a0President Muhammadu Buhari to seek his intervention over the action of the EFCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal high court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to stop any planned action to prosecute Rochas Okorocha, senator representing Imo west.
