The Imo State High Court in Owerri on Thursday ordered an interim forfeiture of all assets alleged to be unlawfully obtained by a former governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, when he was in office from 2011 to 2019.
Justice Fred Njemanze gave the order following an application brought by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Louis Alozie on behalf of the state government.
Some of the properties listed in the suit include the Eastern Palm University, Ogboko; the controversial Royal Spring Palm Hotels and Apartments; IBC staff quarters said to have been illegally acquired for the purpose of Rochas Foundation College, Owerri; Magistrate Quarters among others.
The suit had Senator Okorocha’s wife, Nkechi, incorporated trustees of Rochas Foundation and Senator Okorocha himself as the first, second and third respondents against the attorney-general of the state.
Vanity upon vanity
That’s what you get for illegally collecting government properties to yourself
Rochas oya is time oooo, vomit all you have swallowed, we dey wait o
What goes around comes around
This is karma in action
Chai, na so oooo, you reap what you sow, no two ways about it
What goes around comes around
The only governor who took away the happiness of his people and went ahead to make commissioner for happiness.
But I don’t think he will let it go just like that, he will go to court 👨⚖️ again
Power doesn’t last forever, so use it wisely
Hope 🙏 the state government won’t think of demolishing the property because is a waste of public funds
Rochas should know now that power doesn’t last forever.. Power is transient
You are richer than the entire Imo State, lets see what will be left of you after you forfeit all the properties you illegally collected from Imo state
Seriously? So it has really come to this, hmmm the unexpected is happening
After so many years of not believing in court orders, court 👨⚖️ orders for his forfeiture of his illegally acquired properties..
He still boast of being richer than IMO state.. They should take the property away from him
What happened to the slogan ‘my people my people’ and ‘my governor my governor’, was just to fool us?
Stealing from the state to invest in the same state isn’t investment but robbery.
He has completely destroyed his integrity and reputation
Chai, na only you waka come. There is god o
Oh, how has the great fallen? A whole ‘Owelle ndi Igbo’. It’s a pity
What legacy have you left for your children and unborn generation?
No wonder he tried to make his in-law Uche Nwoso to be the next governor, just so he could cover up his tracks
Owelle Ndi Igbo, thank God that your vision of becoming President of the nation has crumbled, because of your Iberiberism.
That serves him right
Evil men do still lives with them, either directly or indirectly
I can’t wait to see law take its full cause on Rochas
Whatever man sows He will reap, the people of Imo state have not been treated fairly, to serve justice let the right thing be done, and that is restoring all that was stolen from the imolites
Going to court will not solve any problem.
No one is above the law
Na u go carry ur shame alone
Truth be told, u av eaten wat is not yours n u never knew it will be hard to digest n now u av to vomit dat which u av eaten n is difficult to digest…dis is wat happens wen u play with d law, even if u are ex governor one day u av to pay for ur wrong deeds. Enjoy

At least he will feel what others are feeling. it came as a shock, he was never expecting such. What a wow
