No hotel selling human parts in Anambra , says Anambra Government

www.odogwublog.com reports that the Anambra state government yesterday frowned at the malicious
story making the rounds that Nigerian Police shut a restaurant dealing o human parts in Awka, saying there was no such restaurant.

A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr Mrs Mary Imelda Nwogu states that story was malicious and reprehensible.

The statement reads in part: ‘’The attention of the Anambra State Government  has been drawn to a false and malicious report circulating on social media over the purported closure by the Nigeria Police of a restaurant selling human flesh in Anambra state. This story, as reprehensible and false as it is, was also published by a national daily which has since retracted it and apologized, having found it to be untrue.

‘’The government of Anambra State having investigated the story and found same to be false hereby urges Ndi Anambra and friends of the state to ignore the said story as it is part of a wider smear campaign by anti-democratic forces and enemies of progress who have been attempting to sabotage the fast paced visible infrastructural and social development going on in the state.

‘’These individuals who go by various aliases on social media and on some other media platforms have continued to feed unsuspecting members of the public with lies about Anambra state, in the hope that they will distract the present administration.

‘’It is instructive that the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police, Anambra State Command, Uche Ezeh had in an earlier statement to the media debunked the false story.

‘’Anambra State, the light of the nation is open for business and is now the destination of choice in Nigeria for investors looking for a government friendly investment climate, security, large market, attractive return on investment, skilled manpower and supporting infrastructure’’.
