Man threatening to invite IPOB to Lagos arrested

The Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, Fredrick
Nwajagu, has been arrested.

Speaking in a video that went viral on Friday, Nwajagu
threatened to invite members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra 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.

A source in the police who preferred anonymity disclosed 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.
