DSS, Police Joint Force Arrest Eze Igbo Who Threatened to Invite IPOB to Lagos

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

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

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 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.
