Okorocha Denies Court Arrest Warrant Claims Amid APC Issues

Rochas Okorocha, former Governor of Imo State and current senator, denied reports that a magistrate court issued a bench warrant against him for an alleged forgery offence. His denial was communicated through a statement from his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, where he challenged anyone possessing the alleged document to publish it within 48 hours.

Okorocha contested the timeline of the report, which stated that the warrant was issued on October 9, following a petition dated October 8, arguing that it was implausible for investigators to process and act on a petition and obtain a warrant within a single day. He urged Nigerians to disregard the report, labeling it as lacking credibility.

Additionally, Okorocha commented on the internal dynamics of the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing the need for peace over controversy. He has been involved in various legal and political disputes, including a suit challenging the Independent National Electoral Commission's recognition of Hope Uzodimma as the APC's Imo West senatorial candidate.
