Former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha’s camp has denied reports that the former leader was arrested, demanding that the Imo state government produce an arrest warrant to substantiate the claims.
The statement was issued after a wave of rumours circulated in the media that Okorocha had been taken into custody by security forces. His supporters refuted the allegations, insisting that no such arrest had taken place.
In the denial, the camp challenged the Imo government to provide evidence of an arrest warrant, arguing that without such documentation the reports were unfounded.
So far, the Imo state government has not issued a formal response to the allegations or the demand for a warrant.
Imo State, located in southeastern Nigeria, has been the subject of political scrutiny in recent years, with former governors and political figures frequently in the news.
