Former Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, appeared in court on Monday after being arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, OduNews can confirm.
Okorocha was driven to the court premises at about 8:45 a.m. and was immediately led to the courtroom.
Odunews.com had earlier reported that Okorocha was on Tuesday forcefully arrested in his Abuja residence.
The serving senator and presidential hopeful was said to have failed to honour EFCC’s invitation.
Dressed in his usual green coloured Agbada with a brown cap to match, the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential aspirant, who is wearing a pensive mood, was made to sit near a dock where his plea on the fraud charges against him would be taken this morning.
Some of his family members and political associates who are in court ahead of his arrival could not get direct access to him due to heavy security mounted around him.
The aides comprising former Commissioners among others are, however, waiting around to catch a glimpse of the Senator.
His lead counsel, Mr Kehinde Ogunwumiju, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, has also arrived in court with a retinue of other lawyers.
