Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Okorocha and Araraume
A Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja has issued bench warrants for the arrest of former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha and former Senator Ifeanyi Araraume. They face allegations of criminal conspiracy, forgery, and the use of false documents concerning the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election.
The warrants, dated September 9, 2026, were issued by Senior Magistrate Court 3, Jiwa, Abuja, under cases numbered CR/M/JW/084/2026 and CR/M/JW/085/2026. The proceedings were initiated in the name of the Inspector-General of Police against Okorocha, Araraume, and two other individuals, Timothy Ama Chuks and Amen Okorocha, who are also named in the warrants.
The warrants authorize police officers nationwide to apprehend the defendants and present them before the court. This legal action follows allegations regarding documents that purportedly indicate Okorocha's victory in an APC senatorial primary election in Imo State.
