The police in Imo State on Sunday have arrested the former governor of the state and a serving senator, Rochas Okorocha.

Mr. Okorocha’s aide, Ebere Nzewuji, who confirms the arrest said the former governor is detained at the police headquarters in Owerri.

“He has been arrested by the police on the orders of the governor,” Mr. Nzewuji said.

“The police are telling him that he is under arrest. It is so clear now that he is being arrested. And he is being detained.”

Mr. Okorocha is accused of forcefully unsealing his wife’s hotel, Royal Spring Palm Hotel, Owerri, which was sealed two days ago by the commissioner for lands and physical planning on behalf of the Imo State Government.

The commissioner said the hotel was built, without permission, on government land.

But Mr. Okorocha’s aide, Mr. Nzewuji, denied that the senator tried to unseal the property.
