Police Whisked me into Pickup Van to Imo Command on the order of Governor Uzodimma - Owelle Rochas

"I asked them, what is my offence? They said conspiracy and public disorder. So they said it was the governor that directed them, that made a report to arrest me. The police whisked me into the pickup and brought me to the police station, I am here now. As I am here, they have not said anything to me.

I am still at a very deep shock and confused as to what is happening here. Particularly of note, what shocked me was the SA to the Governor pulled out his shirt, carried the machete himself and was coming to machete me while I was moved out. He was calling the boys 'come, come.' He was in charge and the police were following him. When they arrested me so to say, the SA to the Governor entered the pickup and came to the police station with their own video.

They were making jest of me that there is only one governor in the state, there is only one immunity that they are going to deal with me. I can't believe it."

---The senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha, has accused the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma of ordering his arrest.

Okorocha was arrested on Sunday after unsealing Spring Palm Estate linked to his wife, Nkechi.

The ex-governor who now represents Imo West at the Senate had gone to the estate with his supporters, policemen, soldiers and personnel of National Security and Civil Defence Corps and ordered the unsealing of the estate.
