  "summary": "The Senior Magistrate Court 3 in Abuja has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, former Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, and two others over alleged criminal conspiracy, forgery, and the tendering of false documents. The defendants are accused of forging and presenting false results of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for Imo West Senatorial, which claimed Okorocha as the winner. The bench warrant, issued by Ebiwari E Damini, charges the four defendants with criminal conspiracy, forgery, perjury, and uttering false documents. INEC has also disowned a document allegedly being circulated by Okorocha, asserting that Governor Hope Uzodimma won the primaries, and urged the police and DSS to investigate the forgery.",
