Governor
Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has left London where he was receiving medical
treatment for Israel, it was learnt on Saturday.
Okorocha
had left Nigeria on April 20, 2013, after he sustained a head injury in a car
accident.
When
our correspondent made an enquiry from one of his aides on Friday it was learnt
that Okorocha had left London for Israel.
Okorocha’s
Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, confirmed that the
governor had left London. “He has left London and he is doing very well. He is
currently in Israel,” he said.
Another
top government official, who pleaded anonymity said that the governor was in
Israel for a second round of examination.
Uzoukwa,
however, denied that the governor moved to Israel on health grounds.
“He
only went to Israel to attend to certain matters and will be back soon,” he
said.
Okorocha
was involved in a car crash on Orlu-Owerri Road in the state on April 19.
The
accident occurred when a Mercedes Benz 200 ran into the governor’s convoy and
had a collision with his own car.
Okorocha
was on an inspection tour of projects in Orlu area when the crash occurred.
“The
accident led to a minor cut on the governor’s scalp,” Uzoukwa had said.
He
said Okorocha’s head was bandaged, but noted that he was stable and strong.
Okorocha
had said he would seek further medical attention due to the level of impact of
the accident on him.
“Although
the accident left me with a cut and some minor injuries, I am fine. I will,
however, seek further medical attention because of the degree of impact made by
the crash,” the governor was quoted as saying after the crash.
