Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission(EFFC) have quizzed the immediate past
governor of Ebonyi State, Mr. Martin Elechi, in connection
with an ongoing investigation on the administration of local
government funds in the state.

It was learnt that Elechi, his son, and some state government officials who served under him, are being interrogated in connection with a multi-million naira asphalt project awarded to 13 local government councils in the state.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson
Uwujaren, confirmed to our correspondent on the
telephone on Thursday that the former governor was
interrogated by operatives of the anti-graft agency.
He said “It is true that he was quizzed by the operatives
of the commission.”

Elechi was invited to the EFCC’s headquarters to face a team
of operatives on Monday and Tuesday last week.
He was said to have faced the panel of investigators from
the Economic Governance Unit of the EFCC for two days at
the commission’s headquarters.

It was gathered that the former governor was not detained
by the commission but was asked to go on self-recognition.

The source said, “The former governor of Ebonyi State was
at the commission on Monday and Tuesday to answer
questions on some contracts awarded to 13 local
government areas of the state.

“Throughout last week, he was put on standby while the case of a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, and his sons, was taken to court.
