Imo governor, Rochas Okorocha may not be back in the country soon as reports say he has left the United Kingdom, where he was flown for medical treatment, to Israel.

Okorocha was flown out of Nigeria on April 20, 2013 after getting involved in a car accident where he sustained a head injury.

According to sources, Okorocha was is in Israel for a second round of medical examination.

While answering questions on the status of the governor’s health, Okorocha’s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Ebere Uzoukwa confirmed that he had left London but denied his trip to Israel was on health grounds. “He has left London and he is doing very well. He is currently in Israel.

“He only went to Israel to attend to certain matters and will be back soon,” he reportedly said.

Okorocha’s convoy was involved in an accident along Owerri-Orlu road on April 19 and he was flown out of the country the next day to treat “a minor cut” on his scalp.

“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.
