Former Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi said he cannot be probed by any anti-graft agency.
Speaking on behalf of the ex-governor, Chief Tony Okocha, a former aide to Amaechi said, ''I have always said that Amaechi is not afraid of the EFCC or the ICPC as long as such probe is not a witch-hunt. Again, there is a court order that the EFCC or other agency like it cannot probe any government official in the state. Wike is a beneficiary of that court order.
''Until that court order is vacated, the ICPC or the EFCC have no right to investigate Amaechi. Since what they are going to investigate is his (Amaechi’s) activities while in government, the EFCC and the ICPC do not have such right to do so based on the standing court order''.
