It was noted that an arrest warrant for İmamoğlu would be issued on the morning of March 23. According to the claim, security measures have begun to be taken in Istanbul in anticipation of an arrest warrant to be issued in the early hours.
His wife, Dilek Kaya İmamoğlu, and CHP Chairman Özgür Özel have set off for the courthouse to support İmamoğlu, whose testimony process is ongoing at the Çağlayan Courthouse. It was reported that police intervened against lawyers who were present at the courthouse following a call from the Istanbul Bar Association.
Journalist Alican Uludağ stated in a post on his social media account that İmamoğlu would be arrested in the early hours while people are asleep. According to Uludağ's claim, the decision will be issued at an unspecified time in the early morning.
Uludağ used the following expressions in his post:
''All security measures in Istanbul are based on the calculation of arresting Ekrem İmamoğlu. They will issue the arrest warrant in the early hours, at a time when people are asleep.''
İstanbul’da bütün güvenlik tedbirleri, Ekrem İmamoğlu’nun tutuklanması hesabı üzerine kuruldu. Sabaha karşı, insanların uykuda olduğu bir saatte tutuklama kararını çıkartacaklar.
