[BREAKING] N1.3bn fraud: EFCC detains VON DG Osita Okechukwu - Punch Newspapers

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Saturday detained the Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, over a case of conspiracy, abuse of office and misappropriation of public funds to the tune of N1.3billion.

He was said to have arrived at the headquarters of the anti-graft agency in Abuja at about 1.30pm to honour an invitation but was detained and interrogated. “Osita Okechukwu, an All Progressives Congress chieftain, was consequently detained and interrogated about his alleged involvement in the fraud. He is still in custody as we speak,” a source stated.

The EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the invitation of the VON chief executive but declined to provide further details.

…Osita Okechukwu, serve Fulani and return home in shame . You were warned the time you sang their praise and that Nigeria is working for you and your likes . This is the beginning...

Severe punishment should be meted on anyone found culpable of any crime no matter your background. Please I need some followers here thanks all

One of Buhari’s vocal supporters. How that all Buhari appointees could be called to give account of their stewardship.

If you see this man talking about corruption on AIY you think he is a saint

Habaaa🙃

The chicken have come for roast

Why do I have this feeling that this is all about 2023 general election? Okechukwu has never hidden his thoughts of allowing for an Igbo presidency.

These elderly people will come up to tell youths to take things easy but use public funds to train their children at the expense of others.

Hahah

Money dey for VON? Them no see Lai Mohamed way dey inside money.

Because na igbo
