The Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, Fredrick Nwajagu, has been arrested hours after thr£atening to invite members of the proscribed group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to the state to secure properties of a certain tribe.
Nwajagu was arrested by a combined team of police and DSS in the early hours of Saturday, April 1.
Speaking in a video that went viral on Friday, March 31, Nwajagu thr£atened to invite members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos State, adding that the move became necessary in the wake of att@cks on some a certain tribe 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 mobilize for that. We have to do that. We must have our own security so that they will stop attacking us at midnight, in the morning, and in the afternoon.
When they discover that we have our own security, before they come, they will know that we have our own men there. I am not saying a single word to be hidden. I am not hiding my words; let my words go viral. We must get their rights and get standing in Lagos State.”
Subsequently, the police and DSS went after Nwajagu in a midnight raid but he had already fled his palace. He was later traced to a hotel in Ejigbo where he was arrested.
