Some members of the Imo committee
on recovery of government property reportedly stormed a shopping mall owned by
Uloma Rochas-Nwosu, daughter of Rochas Okorocha, former governor of the state,
on Thursday night.
The mall, House of Freeda, is
located in Owerri, the state capital.
They reportedly carted away
merchandise believed to be owned by the state government.
The operation was said to have
been supervised by Jasper Ndubuaku, chairman of the committee.
According to witnesses, about six
workers in the complex were said to have sustained injuries during the
operation.
A vehicle belonging to Reach FM,
a radio station, suspected to be owned by a member of the Okorocha’s family,
was reportedly impounded.

Some youth said to be loyal to
Okorocha allegedly tried to prevent the committee from moving properties away
from the mall but were overpowered by security operatives.
On Thursday, the committee had
alleged that officials of the Okorocha administration looted the government’s
property worth N50 billion.
Ndubuaku had said the committee
was in possession of the names and contacts of all those said to have looted
the property, asking them to return the government’s assets without further
delay.
“If after this appeal and they
still remain adamant, we will be compelled to unleash the dragon, mobilise all
concerned Imo indigenes to assist us to recover these missing items and if the
worst comes, we will criminalise the matter,” he had said.
