Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has refuted reports claiming he was plotting to arrest and jail Catholic bishops and priests after the November 8 governorship election in the state.
Soludo’s denial was contained in a statement signed by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor.
He described the report as a “clear case of misinformation and fake news” aimed at creating tension in the state.
According to the statement, the governor has no such plans and remains committed to upholding the rights and freedoms of all citizens, including religious leaders.
“The attention of the Anambra State Government has been drawn to a fabricated story circulating in some media outlets alleging that Governor Chukwuma Soludo plans to arrest and jail Catholic bishops and priests after his re-election.
“We categorically state that this report is entirely false, baseless, and malicious,” the statement said.
