The Lagos State Police Command arrested Fredrick Nwajagu, the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, for

threatening to summon the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos State.
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.

“A police and DSS team went to his palace, but he had already fled.” “He was later tracked down to a hotel in Ejigbo and arrested,” the source said.

In a 49-second video posted on Twitter on Friday by @DeeOneAyekooto, Nwajagu stated that the need to welcome the banned pro-Biafra group to the state was prompted by the ongoing attacks on some Igbo people and the markets they dominate.

The Igbo leader was captured saying, “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 own security so that they will stop attacking us in the midnight, in the morning, in the afternoon.

“When they discover that we have our own security, before they will 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 right and get stand in Lagos State.”

Reacting to the video, the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the security agency would not allow IPOB come to the state.
