Justice K.A Lewanya of the Imo State High Court, Owerri, on Tuesday, sentenced the state’s former Commissioner for Transport, Laz Anyanwu, to three years imprisonment for fraud.
Anyanwu, who served as commissioner for transport under the Rochas Okorocha administration in the state, was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a three-count charge of fraud, looting of public funds, and stealing.
The commission accused the convict of diverting N180 million belonging to the state into a private company account where he was a major shareholder and sole signatory while in office.
