The Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, Fredrick Nwajagu, has been arrested. In a video that went viral on Friday, Nwajagu threatened to invite members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to protect 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 must mobilise for 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 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.”
A police source who wished to remain anonymous told The [publication] that the Igbo leader was arrested on Saturday morning by a joint team of police officers and operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS). “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. Further details will follow.
