Allegation
An audit report covering 29 May-31 December 2019, commissioned by successor Hope Uzodinma's administration, alleged the Ihedioha government siphoned about ₦19.63 billion from the joint accounts of Imo State's 27 local government areas during its seven-month tenure.
Outcome / Status
The allegation came from a successor administration's audit rather than an independent judicial or EFCC finding; Ihedioha was later separately invited by the EFCC for questioning over financial irregularities from his tenure, but no conviction had resulted as of the most recent reporting.
