Igbo group protests Abia terror suspects’ release
-
A group, kenned as Igbo World Union, has expressed vigorous reservations over the reported relinquishment of 113 out of the 486 detained Boko Haram suspects apprehended penultimate Sunday in Abia en route to Port Harcourt.
President General of the group, Chief Mishak Nnanta, who verbalized with Sunday PUNCH in Umuahia in the wake of the alleged gradual relinquishment of the suspects, verbalized, “Nigeria is playing with fire, if indeed anybody among these suspects who pose grave hazard to our lives and national unity, has been liberated in such a haste”.
The News Agency of Nigeria had reported that 133 indigenes of Jigawa State among the suspects were last Friday handed over to the state regime amidst grand reception.
IWU verbally expressed while it “ is not opposed to the liberation of any innocent suspect”, caution, however, should be exercised when dealing with terror suspects.” He verbalized it still beats the imagination why about 486 self-acclaimed job seekers, led by attested Boko Haram kingpins on the wanted list of security agents, should be travelling on a convoy under the cover of tenebrosity.”
