Okorocha’s Aide Arrested For Arms Possession by jimmayoy: 6:24pm On Mar 27, 2015
The Imo State Police Command has arrested a Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Okechukwu Okorocha, for illegally being in possession of arms.
Briefing newsmen at the State Police Command Headquarters in Owerrion Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Andrew Enwerem, said Okorocha was arrested after operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department, who were acting on a tip-off, conducted a cordon-and-search operation at his residence onFridayand recovered three pump action automatic rifles with 24 live cartridges and a Kenwood walkie-talkie.
He said the command had received information that some top government functionaries were stockpiling arms with the intention to disrupt the general elections in Imo State.
The police spokesman noted that Okorocha had acted contrary to an instruction from the police to all residents, particularly members of the State Vigilante Service, to surrender all the arms and other dangerous weapons in their possession before the general elections.
“We have been announcing that the vigilance group will not be part of the security beef up at the polling centres during the elections. As a result, we have been warning them to return the prohibited firearms in their possession to the Divisional Police Officers nearest to them,” Enwerem said.
In a similar operation by the State CID in Owerri, three automatic pump action rifles with 14 live cartridges were found in the security post of Ebuada Housing Estate in the city.
In the process of recovering the weapons, Kelechi Onuoha, Chigozie Uzowuru, Osita Obiako and Linus Aka were also arrested.
“It is believed that these arms were going to be used to disrupt the coming elections. The arrested suspects are currently in the custody of the police and they are undergoing interrogation. This is what we have done in preparation to ensure that there is a peaceful, credible, free and fair elections in Imo State,” the PPRO said.

GEJ may not have lived up to expectations, he is not perfect cos nobody is.
I sincerely hate the way he handled:

(1) The boko haram activities,

(2) Job creation, if he had done better our fellow citizens shouldn't have died in NIS recruitment,

(3) Education, I can't easily forget the series of stricts we had during his regime. Just to mention but a few.

BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE CASTING MY VOTE FOR GMB

Because the worst we can achieve with GEJ is to remain stagnant , should GMB take the lead and he chose to mess up, having the support of the likes of Bola Tinubu and OBJ our backwardness as a country will know no bound.

FOR ALL OF YOU THAT WILL BE VOTING, I PRAY YOU GO IN PEACE AND COME BACK IN PEACE.



the political ambitions of any body doesn't worth the blood of the least Nigerian.
