The agency also fired gunshots to scare away supporters of the former governor, who thonged Okorocha’s residence to show solidarity.
After hours of laying siege at the residence of the presidential aspirant, EFCC officials finally gained access to his building through the ceiling.
The former governor is said to have ignored several invitations from the agency for questioning over corruption allegations.
