Royal Palm Estate: Police Allegedly Arrest Okorocha

The Imo State Police Command have allegedly arrested Senator Representing Orlu Zone, Rochas Okorocha, over his activities on the recovered Royal Palm Estate.

The Special Assistant to Governor Hope Uzodinma, Chinasa Nwaneri was seen in a viral video arriving at the estate with thugs.

A fight ensued over the Imo state government sealing up the Royal palm estate, suspected to be owned by the wife of the former governor of Imo state, Nkechi Okorocha, built when Okorocha was the governor of the state.

Senator Okorocha is currently in the Police Headquarters, Owerri on the alleged orders of the Governor, Hope Uzodinma, APC.

Recall that the Commissioner for Lands, Enyinnaya Onuegbu, on Friday, visited the place after the place was locked down in line with the recovery agenda of the state government.

According to the commissioner, “The place has been sealed up and we have ordered the police to take over the estate until further notice.”

The government said as quoted by Vanguard: “It is not resting on its oars in recovering all the stolen properties of the state especially those carted away by the previous administration and in line with the 3R mantra initiative of Gov. Hope Uzodimma, the state must continue to work in line with the relevant laws and recommendations of government agencies and commissions no matter whose ox is gored.”

“You may recall that the Judicial Commission of Enquiry on Recovery of Lands and Other Related Matters was one out of the many panels constituted by the Emeka Ihedioha’s administration which Gov. Hope Uzodimma has demonstrated a high sense of political maturity and playing above party politics to allow the panels work and adopt their recommendations,” They said.
