PORT HARCOURT—Rivers State chapter of Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, Wednesday alleged that some Boko Haram detainees had been transferred to the prison in Port Harcourt.
Publicity/Research Secretary of the rights body, Livingstone Wechie, in a statement, said that though there was no official comment from any of the security agencies, a top security source within the prison service disclosed the development to the organisation.
“Although the authorities may deny and make this development an unfounded secret, there is no basis for this action by the authorities involved,” he said.
He expressed worry that the development could impact negatively on the area if the situation was not well managed.
“Ordinarily, terrorists’ inmates should be kept in isolated maximum facilities because keeping them with other ordinary criminals will give them room to indoctrinate other inmates particularly since the Port Harcourt prison is already over congested,” he added.
No official of the Nigeria Prison Service was ready to comment on the allegation, following Vanguard’s inquiry.
Meantime, spokesman of Governor Nyesom Wike, Mr Opubo Nko-Tariah, said that the state government was not aware of the alleged development.
“I can’t attest to the veracity of the story. However, should there be an ounce of truth in the transfer story, the Rivers State Government should know so that adequate measures can be put in place in partnership with the Federal Government. Although the prisons belong to the Federal Government, the state government will be blamed for any havoc wreaked on residents if and when there is a jail break,” he said.
He wondered why the prisoners would be transferred to the state when Port Harcourt does not have a heavily fortified prison for such inmates.

Buhari wants to speed up the spread of boko haram in the south

Thought Asari Dokubo said the NDLVF has what it takes to subdue the haramites?

Why the fear then?

2 down, more to go, dem go spread bh boys like ebola

Buhari--> Exporting Boko Haram since May 29th

FFK with his "mouth-diarrhoeaism" and stupidity is vindicated.

When we have a religious fanatic as president, such news is not unexpected.

after todays massage from pastor bosun from Biafra radio i know that boko boys is jihadist by northern elite to islamize eastern region but with GOD buhari and co. plans will fail

There's is no need for any panic. Just register your displeasure by organizing a peaceful protest. If the buhari govt refuses to heed to your request then withdraw and engage plan B. Should anything happen to any of the our people in the guise of any jail break then heads will roll. Let some militia monitor the facility from now hence forth and do the needful in the course of any eventuality.
Buhari your plans will never work.
