“The arrest order only added to their disrespect for me as the past governor and this is a very bad precedence which Ihedioha’s government is creating.' Nigeria Okorocha Ihedioha
Former governor of Imo, Sen. Rochas Okorocha, has described the state government’s arrest order against him as an open invitation to anarchy in Imo.
Okorocha was reacting to Thursday’s order by the Secretary to State Government , Mr Uche Onyeaguocha, for his arrest over an alleged assault of a government official at his residence. Reacting to the incident, which trended online on Thursday, the SSG told journalists that the former governor had been listed under state government’s security watch and placed on citizen’s arrest.
He stated that the only reason given by the SSG for the order was that Imo people sympathetic to him prevented the recovery team from looting his private residence.
