Ndigbo Demands The Immediate Relocation Of Boko Haram Prisoners


The Chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Elder Chris Eluemuno, has on Thursday demanded the immediate relocation of the 49 Boko Haram prisoners for peace to reign in the country.
The group, which was angered by the Federal Government’s alleged transfer of the inmates from the North East prisons to Aguata Prison in Ekwuluobia, made this known, via the Chairman at his country home, Nkwelle-Ezunaka.
Elder Elumuno said: “Our position is that it is not acceptable to us having them here, if what President Mohummadu Buhari has to give us as dividend of democracy is Boko Haram terrorists, it is very, very unfair.
“Aguata prison in Ekwulobia is not a maximum prison, it is an ordinary prison and if the Federal Government meant well for us, Igbo, it is not terrorists that they will bring to us, it is not acceptable to us and we are asking them to think again and look for a better place and send them there.
“Let him build a camp and put them there if there are not enough accommodations in the North East prisons, the prison in Ekwulobia does not have maximum security, there are maximum security prisons all over the country.
“Successive Federal Governments of Nigeria have always taken the Igbo for granted and pleaded that nobody should push the Igbo to the walls to incur their wrath, we are asking him to please, remove the suspects from Anambra State.”
