The Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, Fredrick Nwajagu, has been arrested for threatening to invite the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that Nwajagu had threatened to invite members of the outlawed group to provide security for Igbos and their properties in Lagos.
In a viral video on Friday, Eze Ndigbo said;
“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 security so that they will stop attacking us at midnight, in the morning, and in the afternoon.
“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.
However, a police source confirmed on Saturday that the Igbo leader was arrested in the early hours of the day following a joint operation by 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.
