The cold political war between Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and his predecessor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has taken a frightening dimension. Insiders at Governor’s Office, Asaba squealed to us that Gov. Okowa invited operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to Asaba on Tuesday, 16 August, 2016 to arrest Permanent Secretaries who served under Uduaghan’s government.

Our sources disclosed that Mr. Hilary Ibegbulam, Principal Secretary to Governor Okowa lodged the operatives of the EFCC in a hotel and they were kept at the office of Mr. Ovie Agas, the Secretary of the State Government (SSG) where they grilled those permanent secretaries that worked with the former governor.

After two days of intensive interrogation, Mr. Anthony Obuh, former Permanent Secretary, Governor’s Office and PDP guber aspirant in the last election and two others who are loyal to the former governor were arrested and taken to Abuja by the EFCC operatives.

Besides, we were told that the issue is not over yet. Our sources revealed that the EFCC operatives are coming back to arrest ex-lawmakers, former commissioners and more loyalists of the former Governor Uduaghan.
