Breaking: Eze Ndigbo Arrested After Threatening To Invite IPOB To Lagos

Fredrick Nwajagu, the Eze Ndigbo of Lagos State’s Ajao Estate, has been taken into custody.

Nwajagu threatened to call members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, an organization that has been outlawed, to protect the Igbo people’s properties in the state in a video that went viral on Friday.

“IPOB, we will invite them,” he said. They are unemployed. The entire IPOB will defend all of our stores. And we must compensate them. For that, we must mobilize.

We must carry out that. In order for them to cease attacking us at midnight, in the morning, and in the afternoon, we must have our own security.

“When they discover that we have our security before they will come, they will take caution. 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 a stand in Lagos State,” he added.

A source in the police who preferred anonymity told The PUNCH that the Igbo leader was arrested on Saturday morning by a joint team of policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services.

“A team of police and DSS went to his palace but he had already fled. He was later traced to a hotel in Ejigbo where he was arrested,” the source said.
