The self-acclaimed Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, Chief Fredrick Nwajagu, has been arrested by men of the Nigeria Police and Department of State Services (DSS).
As gathered by Theliberationnews, Nwajagu was arrested by a combined team of police and DSS in the early hours of Saturday.
According to a police source, the team stormed his residence in Ajao Estate but he fled; he was eventually traced to a hotel in Ejigbo and arrested at 1:00 am., and he is currently in the custody of the DSS.
Recall that in a now-trending video on social media, Nwajagu on Friday vowed to invite members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos to secure properties of Igbo people in the state.
He explained that the move became necessary in the wake of alleged attacks on some Igbo people in the state.
The Igbo leader said he stood by his words, insisting that his people must take a stand in Lagos.
“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,” Nwajagu said.
“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. “Igbo must get their rights and get standing in Lagos State.”
