The faceoff between the Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha and his predecessor, Rochas Okorocha, has escalated in the last two weeks, with growing concern that it could snowball into full blown crisis if urgent steps are not taken to quell the warring factions.
Onyeaguocha said that the state had also placed Okorocha on security watch and urged Imo citizens to arrest him and alert the government whenever they found him in the state. Already the state is tensed following the arrest order placed on the former governor. Observers have expressed concern that the order is capable of inciting supporters of both camps to violence.
“The Order only adds to their continued disrespect for the former governor, which is a very bad precedent. After May 29, 2019, Owelle Okorocha relocated to Abuja. He was in Abuja when the recovery committee members slapped the daughter, Mrs. Uloma Rochas Nwosu, invaded and looted the shops of the wife, Nneoma and that of the daughter too. And just the previous week, Onyeaguocha invaded the private Guest House of the former governor.
