The Anambra State
Government has described as false and malicious, reports making a round on the
Internet over the purported closure by the Nigerian Police of a restaurant
selling human flesh in Anambra State, reports ITRealms.
The newly sworn-in Commissioner for Information,
Culture & Tourism, Dr. Mrs Mary Imelda Nwogu, told ITRealms that this story, as
reprehensible and false as it is, was also published by a national daily which
has since retracted it and apologised, having found it to be untrue.
Nwogu in a press
statement made available to ITRealms
the government of Anambra State having investigated the story and found same to
be false hereby urges Ndi Anambra and friends of the state to ignore
the said story as it is part of a wider smear campaign by anti-democratic
forces and enemies of progress who have been attempting to sabotage the
fast paced visible infrastructural and social development going on in
the state.
According to her,
the individuals who go by various aliases on social media and on some
other media platforms have continued to feed unsuspecting members of the public
with lies about Anambra state, in the hope that they will distract the present
administration.
“It is instructive
that the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police, Anambra State
Command, Uche Ezeh had in an earlier statement to the media debunked the false
story,” she said.
Nwogu also said
that Anambra State known as the light of the nation is open for business and is
becoming the destination of choice in Nigeria for investors looking for a
government friendly investment climate, security, large market, attractive
return on investment, skilled manpower and supporting infrastructure.
