The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has allegedly commenced a probe
on ex-Gov. Amaechi.
Reports
say the EFCC swung into action, following a petition written a Port Harcourt-based
good governance association, The Integrity Group.
According
to reports from Guardian Newspapers, “The Integrity Group alleged that Rivers
State electric power projects were sold and the proceeds converted to other
uses, through payments, amounting to N60 billion, to three companies all
located at the same address in Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt. The petitioners
alleged that the transfers, made in US Dollars, occurred within a space of one
week, between 1st December 2014, and 8th December, 2014. “
Guardian
also reports that the EFCC has written series of letters purportedly signed by
its Head of Economic Governance, Olufunke Adetayo-Ogunbode, to the Permanent
Secretary, Ministry of Finance, in Rivers state, seeking clarification of the allegations.
