Information reaching 247ureports.com indicates agents of anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] have arrived the capital city of Anambra, Awka to effect an arrest. The agents of the EFCC have begun a manhunt for the Archbishop of the Niger Province and Bishop of Awka Diocese, His Grace, Rev Alexander Chibuzor Ibezim over allegations of illegal land sale.
According to a competent source who has first hand knowledge of the illegal land sale, “the EFCC has been around to pick him up. He is using Nwofor [SAN] to forestall the arrest. He is hiding while Nwofor is trying to obtain ex-parte order. I heard he is shopping for an order to restrain the EFCC – who are in Awka looking for him. He is hiding.
According to the source, Nwofor has made a failed application to have his ex-parte application heard on Thursday before the Friday public holiday. “Nwofor has filed fundamental human rights enforcement suit for Ibezim“.
The allegation against the Bishop is that he embezzled the church money by selling their lands. Particularly, he sold one of the lands around Ngozika Estates to the owners of Chisco transport.
