BREAKING: Police Arrest Rochas Okorocha At Abuja Hotel Over Alleged Forgery by Kingzjayzee(op): 5:57am On Oct 13
Former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force tonight, Monday, October 12, 2026, at REIZ Continental Hotel in central Abuja, over allegations of criminal conspiracy, forgery and impersonation.

The arrest comes after the former governor reportedly evaded repeated police invitations in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation, prompting the police to obtain a bench warrant for his arrest.

Okorocha was initially invited to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on September 2, 2026, but the appointment was rescheduled to September 8 at the request of his lawyers, a date he failed to honour.

Uzodinma wants to go to Senate for Orlu Zone while still being Governor. grin

By next year, his tenure will still be running, but he is afraid that he will lose out completely if he doesn't secure Senate and before he steps down from Douglas house. grin

It isn't about losing out. If he contest now, he can resign as governor and become a senator. If he chooses to complete his tenure as governor another person will be sworn in as Senator and that person may not want to step down for him.

Politically, this is a logical step (I don't like it though)

What is happening to rochas is exactly what will happen to Dav Umahi. All of them that stopped this country's progress by removing Jonathan from office will be dealt with.

There was no progress at all in Nigeria under Jonathan.

Okonjo iweala was the finance minister then. Look at the kind of thing she was telling us:

It was even Jonathan’s government that threw Nigeria into recession. Jonathan’s government that couldn’t even pay salaries.

Right from his days in Jos, Okorocha has always been a fraud. He used to be Abacha's right hand man too. Which is where he got his wealth from. It is unfortunate though, for someone who started auto business before coscharis motors, he should have gone far beyond where he is. But when a man chooses to be a petty thief, it limits him.

How was there no progress in Nigeria under Jonathan… when Jonathan was president the country was productive and the loan depth from jona to buhari tripled under Tinubu yet no progress, all his policy as a reform as all means to embezzle the state wealth and share among the governors! Buhari and Jonathan never make any governor as rich as this Tinubu regime that shows the full blow corruption going on in this government.

The lawmakers need to amend our constitution so that a sitting governor will have to resign if he wants to contest for any other position

There was no progress, yet Nigeria became the largest economy under Jonathan?
How else is progress measured where you come from?

How?
He was arrested on the eve of the APC presidential election in 2022. He split APGA and merged it to form APC, believing it was the Igbo's turn after Buhari's tenure. However, he learned the hard way that this was not the case.

By the way, Rochas scored zero in the APC presidential primaries.

Very greedy fellow. He is also championing the propaganda against Rainbow Coalition because of his ambition. They all deserve to lose their elections.
