Okorocha Invited For Questioning ,Not Arrest — Police

The Imo State Police Command on Sunday said ex-governor of the
state, Rochas Okorocha, has been invited for questioning by the
Commissioner of Police, Nasiru Mohammed.

Speaking to Channels Television, the spokesman of the State
Police Command, Orlando Ikeokwu, said the invitation followed
Okorocha’s alleged involvement and forceful entry into a property
that was confiscated by the state government few days ago.

According to him, the command received a distress call that
there was commotion and violence at Royal spring palm hotel located
at Akachi road in Owerri, allegedly linked to Okorocha’s wife,
Nkechi.

He said in order to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and
order in the state, the police swung into action to maintain peace
and invited the ex-governor who was said to have forcefully gained
access into the premises with his security details without any
notice to the state government or security operatives.

To the police spokesman, Okorocha’s action led to a fracas
between the security details of the ex-governor and operatives
attached to the sealed property and several vehicles were damaged
while some people sustained injuries.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police has ordered a full
investigation to ascertain what actually transpired.
