The Imo State Government on Tuesday reportedly sealed the premises of the Rochas Foundation College in Owerri.

The College is owned by former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha.

According to a report by Punch newspaper, state government officials said the College was sealed as part of efforts to recover Imo state properties allegedly “looted by Okorocha and his family members.”

Mr Okorocha, who is currently serving in the ninth Senate, was Governor of Imo State between 2011 and 2019.

In February, he was arrested by police for allegedly breaking into a government-sealed building in Owerri but was subsequently released.

He has denied any wrongdoing and accused current Imo state Governor Hope Uzodinnma of a witch-hunt.
