The Imo State High Court, Owerri, has ordered an interim forfeiture of all the properties illegally acquired by a former governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, who was in office from 2011 to 2019.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The order by Justice\u00a0Fred Njemanze\u00a0was sequel to an application brought by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Louis Alozie.<\/p>\n

The suit with case No. HOW\/191\/2021 had Okorocha\u2019s wife, Nkechi Okorocha, Incorporated Trustees of Rochas Foundation and Okorocha as the first, second and third respondents respectively, against the Attorney-General of the State.<\/p>\n

In a motion ex-parte brought pursuant to Section 472(1) of the Imo State Administration of Criminal Justice Law No. 2 of 2020, Louis Alozie (SAN), applied for interim forfeiture of the following properties allegedly acquired by Okorocha illegally: Eastern Palm University, Ogboko; Royal Spring Palm Hotels and Apartments ; IBC staff quarters illegally acquired for the purpose of Rochas Foundation College, Owerri; Magistrate Quarters, Orlu Road\/Cooperative Office\/Girls Guide illegally converted to private use housing Market Square, Kilimanjaro Eatery; public building plot B\/2 Otamiri South Extension Layout given to the Ministry of Women Affairs for establishing a skills acquisition centre for women illegally acquired for the benefit of Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha\u2019s All-In Stall, Aba Road.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Others include Plot P5 Naze Residential Layout initially part of Primary School Management Board but now annexed to All-In Stall, Aba Road belonging to Mrs. Nkechi Okorocha, and all the properties contained from pages 226 to 272 of the Government White Paper on the recommendation of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Land Administration in Imo state from June 2006 to May 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The application was, among others, based on the ground that, \u201cthese public properties were converted to personal use by the 1st-3rd respondents and their cronies for which the applicants now intends to recover them in line with the White Paper by the Judicial Commission of Inquiry\u2019s report.<\/div>\n
