The Spokesman of the group, Mr. Yinka Odumakin who was speaking at a public forum to commemorate the life and times of MKO Abiola on Tuesday July 7 in Lagos, says moving the detained suspects to a prison facility in Anambra State is like spreading Ebola Virus.
''Moving Boko Haram Prisoners is like spreading the Ebola Virus which is supposed to be confined,'' Odumakin said. ''We, the South-West people, kick against moving the prisoners to South-East Nigeria. We should contain Boko Haram and not spread it. Also, one of the issues that have increased the incessant bombings in the North is the removal of military checkpoints. I will use this opportunity to plead with the federal government to restore military checkpoints where insurgency is at its peak.''
An excerpt of former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode's facebook post on Tuesday July 7 2015, concerning the issue.
''Boko Haram suspects are now being kept in prisons in the eastern part of the country in order to ''spread the word'' and no less than 182 Boko Haram suspects were released on the President's orders just a few days ago,'' Fani-Kayode said. ''Is all this just a coincidence or is something that is dark and sinister now afoot in our country?''
