Chidiebube Okeoma, Owerri

The police in Imo State have arrested three domestic staff of the immediate past governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, over the invasion of his bedroom in the early hours of Saturday.

While Okorocha was in his house in Owerri, the state capital, his house in Ogboko in the Ideato South Local Government Area of the state was invaded by yet to be identified hoodlums.

The state Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Ladodo, who gave our correspondent an update on the incident, said the operatives of his command had swung into action.

The CP said that the preliminary investigation carried out by the command showed that it was an internal sabotage.

The CP said, “We have arrested three domestic staff of the immediate past governor. Preliminary investigation carried out by us showed that the invasion was carried out by those who are working there.

“We have obtained the CCT footage in the house and that has helped our investigation. The footage showed that the invasion was purely an internal sabotage. We have arrested three domestic staff. We equally arrested the cook.
