Rochas Okorocha Arrested Over Alleged APC Primary Fraud
On October 13, former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha was arrested in Abuja by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force. This arrest stemmed from an investigation into allegations of criminal conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation concerning the disputed All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary for Imo West.
Okorocha was apprehended at REIZ Continental Hotel, following a series of controversies regarding a court order for his arrest, which his media office denied. The investigation began after Okorocha allegedly failed to respond to police invitations regarding documents linked to the APC primary results.
A Senior Magistrate Court in Abuja issued bench warrants for Okorocha and three others on September 9, 2026, compelling their arrest. The allegations involve forged documents that purportedly indicated Okorocha's victory in the APC primary.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has also requested an investigation into the discrepancies in the documents submitted by the APC.
