Following an alleged assault on a government official, identified as Jasper Ndubuaku, Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State has declared Senator Rochas Okorocha wanted.
Speaking through the secretary to the state government (SSG), Uche Onyeaguocha, Gov. Ihedioha said the state had also placed Okorocha on security watch and urged Imo citizens to arrest him and alert the government whenever they find him in the state.
9news Nigeria reports that Ihedioha made the demand after Ndubuaku, chairman of the Recovery of Government Properties, was allegedly assaulted at Okorocha’s residence.
A video, obtained by our correspondent on Thursday, captured some persons beating Ndubuaku at Okorocha’s residence on Spibatt Avenue, Owerri.
Rabiu Ladodo, commissioner of police in the state, confirmed that a citizen’s arrest had been declared on Okorocha over the incident.
He said that the senator representing Imo west would be arrested and prosecuted anytime he enters the state.
The commissioner of police said that police would investigate the senator’s involvement in the matter.
