Speaking in a video that went viral on Friday, the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, Fredrick Nwajagu threatened that he would invite members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to secure the properties of Igbo people in the state.
He 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.
To forestall break down of law and order, a team of police and DSS swang into action.
According to our source who preferred anonymity, the Igbo leader has been arrested on Saturday morning by a joint team of policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services.
The source said: “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.”
