Rochas Okorocha's team has refuted claims that the former Imo State Governor was arrested by the police. Their spokesman, Sam Onwuemeodo, stated that the report is false, insisting no arrest took place and no bail was granted. The Nigeria Police Force confirmed Okorocha was arrested on Monday night at a hotel in Abuja, but released him on bail after around an hour of questioning over alleged criminal conspiracy, forgery, and impersonation.
He was directed to return to police headquarters for further questioning as investigations continued. Okorocha's camp denies the arrest, maintaining that he was never detained.
