Mrs Nwobodo, who arrived the Wuse, Abuja headquarters of the anti-graft agency at about 9.30 am this morning, was immediately ushered into the interrogation room where a team of crack detectives commenced an intensive interrogation.  The issues involve sundry allegations of conspiracy, money laundering, and misappropriation of public funds and abuse of office.  She was still being grilled as of press time.

Her invitation is believed to be a precursor to the interrogation of Chime, as EFCC is said to be flooded with petitions indicting him of humongous graft during his eight-year rule of Enugu State between 2007 and 2015.
