Expiration of immunity: No team to probe Amosun, Yari, Okorocha —EFCC (Vanguard)

Despite having quizzed some of key officials of Ogun, Imo and Zamfara states over financial matters running into billions of naira, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said, yesterday, it had not raised any team to probe outgoing governors of the states over alleged graft.

Media reports, yesterday, claimed that Ibikunle Amosun, Rochas Okorocha and Abdullaziz Yari, who are ending their second term in office in May this year, would be probed by EFCC agents over alleged financial impropriety.
