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.

I don't believe it !! What? No ultimatum

SaiBuharii:
"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.

bukster:
I commend the Igbo governors for doing this. If th FG had sent Boko Haram prisoners to my region, I would hope that my governors would have done the same thing. It doesn't make sense to bring the Boko Haram mess to the SE, especially when it seems that the FG hasn't taken much needed precautions. The prison is not a maximum security prison and it is much too close to residential areas. It could spell disaster for Anambra state if the prisoners were broken out.

Sending problem to the most peaceful area of Nigeria

noblezone:
Thats more like it.

When the Igbo politicians shall find their voice, Nigeria will learn a lesson she will never forget in a hurry.

Ngige should stand up now and be counted.

The tyrant called Buhari has goofed big time.

Maple:
The questions I kept asking myself are, had GEJ (who ordered the prisoners transfer in the first place) not loose the presidential elections, would this BH transfer brouhaha be an issue in SE at all? Would there have been protest in Anambra much less "SE governors meeting"? I doubt so.

You foolishly believe GEJ ordered the transfer ? How dumb can you be
