The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a fresh directive requiring Delta State Accountant General, Mrs. Joy Enwa, and two other officials to appear for further questioning in January 2025.
As reported by Politics Nigeria, the summons is part of the EFCC’s ongoing investigation into the alleged diversion of N1.3 trillion in state funds by former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Mrs. Enwa, along with Ekeruche, the former Director of Finance and Administration (DFA), and the Director of Administration, Government House, Asaba, were initially detained by the EFCC in December 2024 before being released. The commission has now called them back to its Port Harcourt office for further interrogation.
Former Governor Okowa was arrested in November 2024 by the EFCC’s Port Harcourt division.
He faces allegations of using his office to misappropriate N1.3 trillion, including investments in UTM Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Company.
A source within the Accountant General’s office disclosed that the ongoing investigation has taken a toll on Mrs. Enwa, who has reportedly been distressed.
“Her blood pressure is rising, and she’s extremely restless. She never expected to find herself in this position,” an insider told Sahara Reporters.
When approached for a comment, Mrs. Enwa declined, saying, “I think you have a mission. Please, you shouldn’t be asking me any questions. I’ve already told you what to do—go to the source and get your information.”
