The immediate past governor of Imo , Senator Rochas Okorocha has called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu to disregard the petition against him by the present governor, Emeka Ihedioha.
He said that the Nigerian Police Force, being a reputable organisation, should not allow itself to be distracted by deceitful petition which lacked merit.
According to Okorocha who made the call in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media Mr Sam Onwuemeodo ,the former governor said that Ihedioha petitioned the police just because he addressed his supporters in the state when he travelled to the area.
The senator denied Ihedioha’s allegation that while addressing his supporters, he (Okorocha) incited them to cause trouble in the state.
Okorocha’s statement read in parts: “Gov. Emeka Ihedioha has sent a petition to the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu to call Sen. Rochas Okorocha to order because he is inciting his supporters to cause trouble.
“He said in the petition that I stole N1 trillion from the state and that the police should investigate my activities.
“We want to appeal to the IGP to disregard the letter because it is an afterthought that has no traceable fact.”
