We will be disobeying Court orders if we release Akwa Okuko, Eke Hit and Onyeeze Jesus now- Anambra State Government

‎
‎
‎The Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, has clarified that the high-profile native doctors currently in detention over their alleged involvement in criminal activities are still being detained on the orders of the court pending the determination of the criminal suit against them.
‎
‎Mefor was reacting to rumours making the rounds across the state that the native doctors were deliberately detained in different detention facilities of the “Operation Udo-Ga-Achi” security outfit without being arraigned in court for trial
‎
‎Speaking to journalists in Awka on Wednesday, the state Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, dismissed the allegations, stating that the suspects had been arraigned before a high court in Awka and were being detained legally. According to the commissioner;
‎
‎”Nobody is being held unduly. All these native doctors, none of them is being held by us, they are being held under the order of the court”
‎
‎“Police is part of the ‘Udo-Ga-Achi’ security outfit, the suspects may be detained wherever the police approve the suspects arrested should be and that has been the practice. People who are saying they are being detained, where do you keep suspects, in the Vatican?.
‎
‎“They should be detained somewhere until they are taken to court. Nobody is being held in Anambra unduly. They are there under the orders of the court and releasing them means disobeying order of court.”
