Okorocha’s Aide, Okorocha Arrested For Arms Possession. by drsolob2(m): 8:37pm On Mar 27, 2015
The officials of the Imo State Police
Command have arrested a Senior
Special Assistant to Governor Rochas
Okorocha, Mr. Okechukwu Okorocha,
for illegally being in possession of
arms.
Punch reports that Andrew Enwerem,
the police public relations officer
(PPRO) in the state, while briefing
newsmen at the State Police Command
Headquarters in Owerri earlier today
made it known that Okorocha has been
arrested.
The PPRO further said that said he was
arrested after operatives of the State
Criminal Investigation Department,
acted on a tip-off, conducted a cordon-
and-search operation at his residence
today and recovered three pump action
automatic rifles with 24 live cartridges
and a Kenwood walkie-talkie.

He continued by making it known that
the command had gotten information
that some top government
functionaries were gathering 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.
Enwerem said: “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.”
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. While recovering the
weapons, four suspects, 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.
