Yesterday, the governor of Anambra State said the transfer of Boko Haram prisoners to Ekwulobia prisons was concluded in 2012 under former President Jonathan administration. The governor, who spoke through his Senior Special adviser on
Political Matters, Mr. Chinedu Obidigwe, said the decision was taken during a seminar organized for officers and men of the Nigeria Prison Service, NPS, in which Ekwulobia and Kuje prisons in Anambra and Abuja respectively, were chosen as prisons for the Boko Haram inmates. .
Obidigwe said the transfer of Boko Haram suspects would have been effected immediately but for the 2015 general elections on ground that it would affect the 2nd term ambition of Jonathan in the South East geo-political zone. Obidigwe contended that a decision made under the nose of past administrations in the state and the country in general should not be blamed on the current regime in Anambra…… indigenes of Anambra r currently trying to turn back d hands of time so dt they cld retrieve their votes for GEJ.
