Okorocha behaved more like an emperor than governor in Imo leadership – Counsel to Imo gov, Alozie Loius

The Counsel to the Imo State government, Alozie Loius, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has blasted former Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, berating the Imo senator of acting more like an emperor than a governor in his eight years leadership of the state.

Alozie Loius, representing the Imo State government in the suit won at the Imo State High Court, Owerri, wherein the court ordered the final forfeit of properties acquired by Senator Rochas Okorocha with state finds. The legal practitioner decried that the former governor acted as an emperor while ruling the state.

He started that the former governor was acquiring properties for himself and family at the detriment of the Imo people.

A State High Court sitting in Owerri, Imo State, on Tuesday ordered final forfeiture of all property of former Governor Okorocha to the Imo State government.

Justice Fred Njemanze, sitting as a vacation judge, in the judgment, pointed out that  Okorocha failed to give concrete and verifiable reasons why a final and absolute forfeiture order should not be given in favour of the Imo State government.

The forfeited property were said to be listed on Pages 226 to 272 of the Imo State Government White Paper report by a Judicial Commission of Inquiry on Recovery of Lands and other related matters.

Okorocha went to the Court of Appeal to seek reversal of the judgement of the Imo State High Court, Owerri, but the appeal.
