The Spokesperson for Imo State Command, Orlando Ikeokwu on Monday, confirmed that the previous governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, has been released.
Ikeokwu told Channels that Okorocha was released on Sunday night after he was “invited” for “questioning” over the unsealing of the Spring Palm Estate linked to his wife, Nkechi.
“He was released afterwards at night,” the PPRO said.
He adde that “If anybody is found culpable, definitely, he'll be charged to court. If investigation proves that he (Okorocha) has committed an offence, he'll be charged to court.”
PM News had earlier reported that the ex-governor stormed the estate with his supporters, policemen, soldiers and personnel of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps on Sunday morning and ordered the unsealing of the estate.
Government officials had also mobilised to the estate, leading to a confrontation that left several persons injured and cars were smashed.
