Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, has charged people of Southeast not to leave Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, Fredrick Nwajagu, to his fate.
Nwajagu is in detention at Ikoyi custodial facility at the behest of a Lagos Magistrates’ Court where he is standing trial for conspiracy and breach of public peace on account of his overt threat to import members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra to Lagos to secure the Igbos and their property from vicious attacks.
Ohanaeze by a statement the Secretary-General of the group, Okechukwu Isiguzoro issued in commemoration of the 2023 Easter celebration, said the embattled chief should not be left to shift for himself in respect of his ordeal, charging Senior Advocates of Nigeria from the East to join in standing by him.
“We urge Ndigbo in Lagos to be their brother’s keeper by not abandoning the Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, whose only offence was to speak ‘hoo!haa!’ by voicing out the frustrations his Igbo kith and kin were passing through in Lagos with their lives and businesses under continued and well-orchestrated attacks by terrorists,” Isiguzoro urged.
