As part of their ongoing investigation into the alleged diversion of N1.3 trillion in state money associated with former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained Mrs. Joy Enwa, the Accountant General of Delta State.
The 13 percent derivation fund designated for oil-rich states was allegedly diverted by Okowa during his time as governor, and the EFCC is looking into this claim.
Due to his suspected involvement in the money’s diversion, the EFCC arrested and imprisoned the former governor in November of this year.
Okowa was arrested at the anti-graft office’s Port Harcourt division. He was accused of using his position as governor to buy up to N1.3 trillion worth of assets, including stock in the UTM Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Company and other oil-related ventures.
