Imo First Group Denies Arrest Order for Araraume, Okorocha
The Imo First Group (IFG) has refuted claims regarding a purported Magistrate court order for the arrest of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, labeling it as fake news. This statement was released on Saturday in Abuja, where IFG called for those spreading the rumor to present the alleged court order publicly.
The claims originated from Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, and were subsequently reported by various media outlets, including Arise TV. The report suggested that a Senior Magistrate Court in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant on September 9, 2026, following a petition from Imo State's Resident Electoral Commissioner, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, on October 8, 2026, regarding alleged fake APC primary results.
IFG asserted that no such order exists and highlighted inconsistencies in the claims, including the timing of the petition and the alleged warrant. They urged anyone with the purported order to make it public.
