The Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, Fredrick Nwajagu, has been arrested and detained.
Nwajagu threatened to summon members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra to protect the properties of Igbo people in the state following 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.
According to a police source who requested anonymity, the Igbo leader was apprehended on Saturday morning by a joint squad of police officers and Department of State Services operatives.
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.”
