Rochas Okorocha Denies Arrest Claims by Nigerian Police
Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo State, denied allegations that he was arrested and released on bail by the Nigerian Police. Police spokesperson Aniete Iniedu had reported that Okorocha was arrested in Abuja on Monday night and released after an hour of interrogation due to allegations of criminal conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation.
In a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha refuted these claims, asserting that there was no valid court order for his arrest. He accused the Imo State government of witch-hunting him and maintained that the court order referenced by the police, dated September 9, 2026, had been vacated on September 14, 2026.
Okorocha emphasized that the claims of his arrest and subsequent release were false and challenged the authorities to prove otherwise.
