Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday, discharged the former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, on the N2.9 billion fraud charge filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The commission had on May 30 last year arraigned the former governor and six others, including a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on a 17-count charge of fraud.
The EFCC alleged that Okorocha conspired with other defendants to steal the funds from the Imo State coffers during his time as governor of the state.
