connection of the diversion of the N2b out of the bailout money given the State
by the Federal Government.
Those
arrested by the commission included the principal secretary to the governor,
Dr. Paschal Obi, who was until his appointment a deputy director in the
Ministry of Health, in charge of optical services, Director of Finance,
Government House, Casmir Uzoho, and Government House Treasurer, Iheoma Kenneth.
Okorocha,
who had expressed regrets for accessing the bailout fund from the federal
government lamented that the money had put the state in a mess.

used to pay agitating workers has put Imo in trouble as more money is being
