Governors from the Southeast have condemned the relocation of Boko Haram suspects to prison facilities in the zone, particularly in Anambra state by the Federal Government.

The Governors, who met on Sunday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, noted that the relocation of the suspected terrorists is already creating fear and security tension in the zone, especially around the state where the prisons are located.

Briefing Newsmen shortly after the closed door meeting that lasted for about two and a half hours, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, said that the Governors have deliberated on the possible consequences of the relocation of the Boko Haram suspects and concluded that it was not in the best interest of the zone.

He said that even though the decision was purely a security matter, it has a far reaching effect on the psyche of the people in the zone.

“We are appealing to the Federal Government to have a rethink on the relocation of the of the Boko Haram suspects. If there is any place they should be relocated to it should be Abuja where they have enough security. The issue is already creating security concern in the zone”.

He however ruled out any plan by the Governors to recall the Igbo in the troubled North, stressing that, “we are all part of the entity called Nigeria and we share in the plight of our brothers in the North East, so it is not the issue of recalling the Igbo in any part of the country but to make sure that they are secured anywhere they find themselves”.

The Forum according to him, also deliberated on the fate of the Igbo displaced in the North as a result of the insurgency and appealed to the Federal Government to adequately compensate them.

boko haram, sorry try west

Too much talk ....no action

That's not agreeable.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY APPEAR UNITED... that's good for the region.

But for Nigeria... I feel the South East is the best place to imprison the Boko Haram members. They have the lowest likelihood of coming in contact with sympathizers that may attempt to break them out.

I just feel, the federal government ought to have built a new Maximum Security Prison far away from public contact for that purpose, although still in the south East.

I HOPE THEY CAN SOMEHOW REACH A COMPROMISE.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Buhari is a terrorist. Nice move from the south east governors.

i hope the Duara dullard has ears to listen.....

he seem to be deaf and dumb to all that is happening in Nigeria these days

E no end for condemnation you guys must instead on transfer of those boko boys from Anambra when next una meet the president

"Ibo's" have refused to understand that Bokoharam are national/federal prisoners not state prisoners. Thus the FG has the right to move them to any federal prison it deem fit.

When Peter Obi the so called son of Ojukwu - the man I tag a "stupid hero" was selling them out to Jonathan. Ibos didn't know. Now they are crying like crocodiles everywhere. If FG decides to send kidnappers arrested in your so called peaceful region to the West, will you cry.

I like this step personally. It makes us know that Bokoharam is a National matter not a regional matter.

Okorocha(abokii) ngige and others are as useless the ueue in queue in APC.

COWARDICE

I think moving the suspects to the south east Is a very bad move, aside the negative psychological effect it would have on the citizens, it's exposing them to unnecessary danger. Imagine the terrorists stage a prison break there, it would be a disaster and start of boko haram expansion to the east... And we know Boko Haram doesn't move quietly. "The Devil comes to steal, kill and destroy"

The people of Anambra must stand up against this move that could spell the beginning of doom in the area.

Who agrees with me that the poster above me is a dullard?

I would have simply kept shut and said it's none of my business, but boko haram suspects being relocated to Anambra amidst massive protests by the people can only mean the protests didn't raise any eyebrow in Aso Rock. This has to be insensitivity of the first order.

These men do not know that their people comes first before the country

They make sence...Abuja is ok to dump them..

Your chest beating east that makes the most noise with no action can use this as a pretext to start a war for Biafra, that is if you mu..s are brave enough as you Igbo's always claim. Smh!
