The Imo State Police Command says the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District in the national assembly, Anayo Rochas Okorocha was arrested on Sunday over a clash in Owerri.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Orlando Ikeokwu, who confirmed Okorocha’s arrest said the police moved to Akachi Road when they received a distress call that the estate sealed by the state government had been forcibly opened by some men led by the senator.
Orlando said, “The command received a distress call regarding what we termed to be unrest at Royal Spring Palm Estate, and the operatives moved to the place. We discovered Okorocha led some persons to the place hitherto sealed by the Imo government.
“The command calmed the situation and invited Okorocha to come and explain why he led the violent breaking into the estate that led to damages.”
