The
Commissioner of Police in the state, Rabiu Ladodo, and SSG confirmed
the incident to newsmen at a joint news briefing in Owerri.
Sen. Rochas Okorocha
Imo State Government under the leadership of Emeka Ihedioha on
Thursday ordered a citizen’s arrest against Sen. Rochas Okorocha, over
alleged assault on a government official, Mr Jasper Ndubuaku.
The Secretary to State Government (SSG), Mr Uche Onyeaguocha, gave
the order after the Chairman of the Recovery of Government Properties,
Mr Jasper Ndubuaku, was allegedly assaulted at Okorocha’s residence.
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.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a video, trending online
on Thursday, captured some thugs beating Ndubuaku at Okorocha’s
residence on Spibatt Avenue, Owerri.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Rabiu Ladodo, and SSG
confirmed the incident to newsmen at a joint news briefing in Owerri.
They announced that a citizen’s arrest had been declared on Okorocha over the incident.
They claimed that Okorocha hired thugs to attack Ndubuaku, who
doubles as Special Adviser to Gov. Emeka Ihedioha on Security matters.
They said that the Senator representing Imo West would be arrested and prosecuted anytime he entered the state.
Narrating his ordeal to NAN, Ndubuaku alleged that he was beaten at Okorocha’s residence and thrown into a gutter by some thugs.
He further alleged that he was first held hostage for some hours by
the thugs in the presence of security men attached to Okorocha’s
residence.
He said that the recovery team obtained a court order to search Okorocha’s house.
“We got a court order to recover stolen properties kept in
Okorocha’s house and when we got to his house on Thursday, armed thugs
attacked us.
“There are twenty government vehicles in his house, four Speed
Boats, one movable crane and generator sets, which we went to recover
before the incident.
“We will not give up the battle, we will go back to his house because the property belongs to Imo government,” Ndubuaku said.
Reacting to the government’s order, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, the Special
Assistant on Media to Okorocha, said the recovery committee was attacked
by the former governor’s sympathisers and passersby.
He said that the recovery team went to Okorocha’s house without a
court order, adding that they invaded Okorocha’s residence with no fewer
than 50 thugs.
