AMEACHI- "I CANNOT BE PROBED"

Ghen-ghen! next week will definitely be interesting!
Former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, says no
anti-corruption agency in the country can probe him. He made this
statement due to reports that Amechi along with some Gov were
being probed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and related
offences Commission, ICPC.
However, Chief Tony Okocha, a former aide to Amaechi, said that
the former governor was not afraid of ICPC or the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission as long as the probe was not a
witch-hunt.
Okocha, however, recalled that the ICPC and the EFCC had not
vacated a court order stopping any of them from investigating any
Rivers Government official and as such could not probe him.
He stated:
“I have always said that Amaechi is not afraid of the EFCC or the
ICPC as long as such probe is not a witch-hunt. Again, there is a
court order that the EFCC or other agency like it cannot probe any
government official in the state. Wike is a beneficiary of that court
order.
“Until that court order is vacated, the ICPC or the EFCC have no
right to investigate Amaechi. Since what they are going to
investigate is his (Amaechi’s) activities while in government, the
EFCC and the ICPC do not have such right to do so based on the
standing court order.”
