Solders have taken over the security in the Ekwulobia
Prisons, following the protest by the South-East Traders over the relocation of
Boko Haram convicts, even as its anticipated that Movement for the
Actualization of Republic of Biafra (MASSOB) may join the campaign, reports ITRealms.
This development is coming a few days after the Anambra
State Amalgamated Traders Association (AMATAS) shut down all markets in the
State to protest the relocation of Boko Haram convicts to Ekwulobia Prisons,
traders from the entire South-East region showed solidarity to the cause by
staging a 7-hour protest in Ekwulobia, to demand that the prisoners be moved
back to the North.
ITRealms recalls
that these spade of protests is on the heels of the relocation of 47 members of
the dreaded Islamic sect who were moved to Ekwulobia prisons in Aguata Local
Government Area last weekend, which led to Governor Obiano’s emergency visit to
President Muhammadu Buhari on the issue.
Also, ITRealms gathered
that the South-East traders comprising traders from Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu
and Anambra States during the solidarity protest marched around major roads in
Ekwulobia urban, chanting anti-Boko Haram songs and calling on the Federal
Government to withdraw the terrorists from the area and any other part of
Igboland.
Some of the placards during the protest read: “No Place for
Boko Haram in Igboland.’’ “Buhari, return Boko Haram Prisoners to the North,”
“Boko Haram Prisoners are Not Our Share of Democracy Dividends,” among others.
