The judge, who fixed May 30 for the hearing of the motions, directed the lawyer to put the EFCC on notice.

NAN reports that Mr Ekwo had, at the last adjourned date, given the anti-corruotion commission May 30 as the last time the matter would be adjourned following the EFCC’s complaint that it had been unable to serve Mr Okorocha despite several efforts.

The judge had threatened to strike out the case if the EFCC failed to produce the senator in the next adjourned date, after two adjournments for his arraignment. Operatives of the EFCC invaded Mr Okorocha’s residence on Tuesday following what they described as his refusal to honour the anti-corruotion commission’s invitation after he was alleged to have jumped the administrative bail earlier granted to him.Mr Okorocha, an APC presidential aspirant, is standing trial alongside others on allegations bordering on money laundering while he served as governor of Imo.
