Imo First Group Denies Arrest Order for Araraume, Okorocha
The Imo First Group (IFG) issued a statement on October 11, 2026, refuting claims of a Magistrate court order for the arrest of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha. The group labeled the reports as fake news, originating from Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma.
The alleged court order purportedly stemmed from a petition by Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Imo State, regarding the presentation of fake APC primary results. IFG emphasized that no Senior Magistrate had issued such a bench warrant, highlighting inconsistencies in the claims, such as the bench warrant being dated September 9, 2026, while the petition was dated October 8, 2026.
The group challenged anyone to present the court order publicly, asserting that the allegations were an attempt to discredit reputable Imo citizens involved in legitimate elections.
