The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said on Thursday its operatives had traced some properties to a former governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji.
The commission’s spokesman, Mr. Dele Oyewale who disclosed this to journalists in Enugu, said the properties were suspected to be proceeds of fraud.
According to him, the properties which were sealed on June 24 in Umuahia, the state capital, were traced to the former governor during ongoing investigations into his alleged financial malfeasance.
The assets traced to Orji by the commission were the Abia Mall which accommodates Shoprite and other business entities, Benac Hotels opposite the Broadcasting Corporation of Abia (BCA), and a housing estate located at former Umuahia Main Market.
