The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday maintained that former governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime, has a case to answer in relation to the N450million campaign funds he allegedly received from ex- Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison- Madueke.

Chime, who recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for All Progressives Congress (APC), had declared at a news conference that he has no case to answer as far as the campaign money was concerned.

But EFCC insisted that Chime is not yet out of the woods in the alleged misappropriation of the fund.

Briefing journalists at the Enugu Press Centre, EFCC Head of Operations South East, Mr. Johnson Babalola, said Chime was far from being free from the commission’s hook, adding that the ex-governor “is still under our investigation.”

Babalola said one Rita Mba and several other persons mentioned in the election campaign fund saga are also under investigation.

“Chime is still under investigation. Criminal cases don’t have expiry date. The case is still not closed. Rita has the right to allege that we have compromised. I want to tell you that she too is still under investigation and I don’t want to say more than that about the case,” Babalola said.
