GOVERNOR Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has denied ever being
arrested in London over money laundering.
Okorocha stated this while addressing journalists on Tuesday
at Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, shortly after arriving the
state from a trip to the United Kingdom (UK).
“The rumour, circulated through SMS that I was quizzed in
London over $10 million, is unfounded and another blackmail by those who fought
during the electioneering period. They are the same people who, at the wake of
my election, rumoured that I stepped down.
“I believe this latest attack on me is basically because of
the judgment we are expecting at the Supreme Court. I have not seen where
blackmail and rumour mongering translate to mandate or victory. I have implicit
confidence in the judiciary to dispense justice and fairness over the matter,”
he said.
