Okorocha Denies Arrest Warrant Claims, Threatens Legal Action
Rochas Okorocha, the former Governor of Imo State, has publicly denied allegations that a court order has been issued for his arrest concerning criminal conspiracy, forgery, and the use of false documents. In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha accused the Imo State government of disseminating what he termed fake news.
He threatened to pursue legal action if those responsible for the claims do not produce the alleged court order within 48 hours or retract their statements. Earlier reports indicated that a Senior Magistrate Court in Abuja had issued bench warrants for the arrest of Okorocha and former Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, along with two others, Timothy Ama Chuks and Amen Okorocha, related to disputed All Progressives Congress primary election documents.
The warrants, dated September 9, 2026, were issued by Senior Magistrate Court 3, Jiwa, Abuja, and authorized police nationwide to apprehend the individuals involved.
