The Imo State police command has arraigned 14 persons including a senior legislative aide to Senator Rochas Okorocha, Steve Asimobi, before a magistrate court in Owerri, the state capital over the ‘forceful invasion’ of the Royal Spring Palm Hotel which was sealed by the state government.

The former Imo state governor had led some of his supporters to reopen the hotel owned by his wife, Nkechi, which was sealed by the state government last Friday, February 19. He and his supporters were later arrested by the police who were alerted by the state government.

This morning, the state police command arrested Asimobi and the 13 others before the court on a 6-count charge bothering on conspiracy, disobedience to lawful order, willingly and unlawful destruction of the official seal of the Imo State Government, a conduct capable of causing a breach of peace.

Others are unlawful possession of firearms and a defamatory action on social media against the Governor of Imo state with the intent to injure the reputation of the state govt and person of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
