It's far to be cited that the women and indeed all and sundry has a constitutional proper to freedom of affiliation and motion which have to no longer be derogated from.
Unluckily, the magistrate did not consider their assured rights as well as the prison situations and the quantity being dumped within the stated jail.
The Justice of the Peace has jurisdiction to inquire into proof of evidence in the arraignment files earlier than remanding the girls into jail.
We therefore call on the Attorney general of Imo state to right now investigate the document on Thursday, the 23rd of August and take the essential criminal steps with a view to liberating the women.
Facts available to us is to the impact that a number of the women are hypertensive and others with extraordinary health challenges and therefore the jail situations may get worse their case.
Inside the light of the above, Imo progressive lawyers affiliation, IPLA, has determined to explore available legal options to see that those women regain their freedom.
Therefore, IPLA has constituted a criminal crew from among its contributors to be led via Mr. Christopher Okafor and others, to soak up the cases of these women at no cost to the ladies to ensure that their unlawful incarceration is put to an give up.
We wish to use this possibility to warn the government of Rochas Okorocha to allow ndi Imo to select who should be the subsequent governor of the State . We shall withstand any try to impose any lackey of the governor as the next governor.
Once more ,we call on all professionals to switch their voters card to Imo and be equipped to influence electorate and get a credible governance in Imo.
Chukwuma Ezeala
President
