PRISONS BOSS WHO BEAT UP A FEMALE REP MEMBER REACTS TO ACCUSATION

The Comptroller-General of Prisons, Dr. PE Ekpendu has described media reports on the alleged assault on a female member of the House of Representatives by his aides, at the National Assembly premises on Wednesday as false.

According to a state¬ment on Friday by the Prisons Public Relations Officer, DCP Francis Eno¬bore, the Comptroller-General said although it was true that he was at the National Assembly on the said day to honour the in¬vitation of a Committee to attend to some official is¬sues with some of his staff, but neither the pilot car in front of him nor his official car had any confrontation with anyone.

The Prisons boss howev¬er, said he went there with 4 cars and not 20 as alleged and that the matter is cur¬rently being investigated by the police.
