A Federal High Court in Abuja has declined to grant bail to former Governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha.
Okorocha was arrested on Tuesday Wednesday in his house in Abuja after long hours of drama and tension.
The former Governor who is a serving senator had filed an application asking the court to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to release him.
Justice Inyang Ekwo declined the request by the former governor to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to release him on bail.
In a brief ruling on the bail application filed by Okorocha, Justice Ekwo said he was not inclined to admit the applicant to bail.
Okorocha’s daughter Uloma had accused the EFCC of violating the rights to her father.
She had said in a live television programme on Thursday that those arrested her father failed to produce any warrant of arrest.
