Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Okorocha, Araraume
A Senior Magistrate Court in Abuja has ordered the arrest of former governor Ifeanyi Araraume and ex-senator Rochas Okorocha due to charges of criminal conspiracy, forgery, and uttering false documents concerning the All Progressives Congress (APC). The bench warrant, dated September 9, 2026, was issued in case numbers CR/M/JW/084/2026 and CR/M/JW/085/2026, with the Inspector-General of Police as the opposing party.
The warrants authorize police officers across Nigeria to apprehend Araraume, Okorocha, and two others, Timothy Ama Chuks and Amen, for allegedly conspiring to forge primary results that falsely declared Okorocha as the winner. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) distanced itself from a document circulated by Okorocha claiming he won the APC senatorial primary for Imo West, stating the genuine results named Governor Hope Uzodimma as the winner.
INEC described the circulated document as fraudulent and urged security agencies to investigate the matter.
