Ebonyi state governor, Dave Umahi, on Thursday, July 9, stated that the Boko Haram prisoners, recently relocated to Anambra, have been returned to Abuja.
Umahi stated that this was why a planned protest by traders against the relocation of the insurgency suspects to Anambra State did not hold in Ebonyi state.
During an inspection tour of ongoing projects in Abakaliki, the governor stated that since the suspects had already been taken to Abuja, the protest was unnecessary.
He said: “The traders have the right to protest but there was no need for the protest because we (South-East governors) had enjoined the Federal Government not to relocate any Boko Haram prisoner to any prison in the South-East. Those suspects brought to Anambra State have been taken back to Abuja.
“The state decided against the protest for the reason that the governors of the region had intimated the Presidency on their opinion on the matter, and so no need for anyone to encourage people of the state to take to the streets.”
I was thinking that some median are filled of lies and gossip; please tell us truth.
