Security operatives arrest Igbo leader who threatened to invite IPOB into Lagos state
The Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, Fredrick Nwajagu, who threatened to invite the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos to secure properties of Igbo people in the state has been arrested
Penpushing reports that Nwajagu was arrested by the State Secret Services (SSS) and Police which was confirmed by the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin on Saturday.
The suspect was said to have been traced by State Security Service (SSS) and Police operatives to his palace, but he took to his heels, and was eventually tracked to a hotel in Ejigbo where he was apprehended.
Penpushing further reports that it is recalled that, Nwajagu in a video posted on Friday by @DeeOneAyekooto, had threatened to invite the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) members to Lagos, claiming that members of his ethnic group were being attacked in the state.
“IPOB, we will invite them. They have no job. All of the IPOB will protect all of our shops. And we have to pay them. We have to mobilise for that. We have to do that. We must have our own security so that they will stop attacking us in the midnight, in the morning, in the afternoon’, he was quoted saying.
“When they discover that we have our own security, before they will come, they will know that we have our own men there. I am not saying a single word to be hidden. I am not hiding my words, let my words go viral. Igbo must get their right and get stand in Lagos State’, Nwajugu added.
Penpushing also reports that as at the time of filing this report the spokesman of the State Security Services (SSS) Peter Afunanya was yet to make any official statement on the development and could not be reached on phone for his reaction.
