Imo Accounts Frozen? .As EFCC, ICPC, Swoops On Banks Handling Monies .Workers Salaries May Not Be Paid Until After May 29 By Samuel Ibezim There are strong indications that the financial state of the Imo State account is in a bad shape following yet to be confirmed reports that the accounts of the state may have been stepped upon by anti graft bodies. Sequel to alleged petitions said to have been written by some persons in the state to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and Independent Corruption Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, against the outgoing administration of Governor Rochas Okorocha, the anti-corrupt bodies have swooped on the some of the state’s financial accounts. The current non- payment of workers’ salaries and pensions arrears may be linked to this development and it is feared that it would linger till after May 29 when Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, incoming governor would officially assume seat of power. Rochas Okorocha was accused of embarking on illegal financial transactions and back dating of some government documents and certificate of occupancy among other illegalities. However, Mark Uchendu, the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, laughed it off by describing it as usual norm for opposition party to query the financial status of an outgoing administration, especially during a transition period. It would be recalled that some days to the last gubernatorial elections in the state, the acting accountant general of Imo State, Uzoho Casmir, was arrested by EFCC for illegal withdrawal of over one billion naira for the purpose of inducing the electorates to vote Uche Nwosu as next Imo State governor.
