OKOROCHA DENIES REPORT OF BENCH WARRANT OVER ALLEGED FORGERY

Former Imo State Governor and Senator Rochas Okorocha has dismissed as false a report claiming that a magistrate court issued a bench warrant against him over alleged forgery.
Okorocha denied the report, insisting that no court had issued a bench warrant against him in connection with the allegation.
The former governor’s response comes amid reports surrounding the alleged forgery case and claims about possible court action against him.
A bench warrant is a court order authorising the arrest of a person, usually for failing to appear in court when required.
Okorocha’s denial places the reported warrant at the centre of the controversy, with the circumstances surrounding the allegation requiring clarification from the relevant court authorities.
