President Buhari Has Transfered Boko Haram Prisoners To Port Harcourt Prison - CLO

Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, Rivers state Chapter on Wednesday announced that the Muhammadu Buhari led administration has transferred Boko Haram detainees to a prison in Port Harcourt.

According to Vanguard, Publicity/Research Secretary of the rights body, Livingstone Wechie, in a statement, said , ''Although the authorities may deny and make this development an unfounded secret, there is no basis for this action by the authorities involved''.

''Ordinarily, terrorists’ inmates should be kept in isolated maximum facilities because keeping them with other ordinary criminals will give them room to indoctrinate other inmates particularly since the Port Harcourt prison is already over congested''.

The Nigeria Prison Service is yet to comment on the allegation. Also, Governor Nyesom Wike in a statement issued by Mr Opubo Nko-Tariah, said that the state government was not aware of the alleged development.
