ENUGU – The All Progressives Congress, APC, South-East geopolitical zone, has described as,”blatant falsehood” the alleged plan by Federal Government to transfer suspected Boko Haram detainees to Ekwulobia Prison in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.

This came as angry youth, yesterday, paralysed commercial activities in markets in Anambra State protesting the alleged plan.

But in a swift reaction, the Spokesperson, APC, South-East,Mr. Osita Okechukwu in a statement said,” we wish to state categorically that the rumour making the rounds that Boko Haram detainees will be transferred to Anambra State or any other state for that matter is blatant falsehood.

“We have made contacts with the Presidency, Nigeria Prison Service, Ministry of Internal Affairs and they have assured us that there is no iota of truth in the mischievous rumour.

“In the clarification, Nigeria Prison Service stated unequivocally that, ‘most of the terror suspects are awaiting trial and so there is no way they can be moved to another state, because they must be tried in the state where they committed the crime’.

“They went further to state that their primary and traditional duty is to move detainees from prison to trial courts adding that moving high profile suspects from a distance more than 1000 kilometers from Maiduguri to Onitsha will be near to very difficult.”

These people go just kill themselves b4 dem time. I was surprised to see pictures of pple protesting when there's no prove that Buhari's going to transfer some B/H detainees to Anambra.

The problem is, the majority of the S/Easterners just don't like Buhari's govt, so they are ready to believe anything that will give it a bad name.

The source of this false news must be investigated and if known, should be dealt with b4 it spreads a bigger one. There is nothing as bad as being gullible and clueless in the opposition. *spits*
