Ex-Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has denied beating up Mr. Jasper Ndubuaku, Special Adviser to Governor Emeka Ihedioha on Security Matters and Chairman of the Recovery of Government Properties.

Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, the Special Assistant on Media to Okorocha, said;

“The recovery committee was attacked by the former governor’s sympathisers and passersby. The recovery team went to Okorocha’s house without a court order. They invaded Okorocha’s residence with no fewer than 50 thugs.”

For those who don’t know, Mr. Jasper Ndubuaku, Chairman of the Recovery of Government Properties said; “I was beaten at Okorocha’s residence and thrown into a gutter by some thugs. I was first held hostage for some hours by the thugs in the presence of security men attached to Okorocha’s residence.”

“We got a court order to recover stolen properties kept in Okorocha’s house and when we got to his house on Thursday, armed thugs attacked us.”

“There are twenty government vehicles in his house, four Speed Boats, one movable Crain and generator sets, which we went to recover before the incident.”

“We will not give up the battle, we will go back to his house because the property belongs to Imo government.”
