A pan-Igbo group, Committee 21 (C21), has announced plans to raise N100 million to assist Southeast indigenes who were victims of Boko Haram violence.

The group, after a meeting in Lagos chaired by a former military administrator of Lagos, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, at the weekend, said it would be unfair to leave the victims and their families to bear the brunt alone.

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, who is the Director of Mobilisation of the group, said it was out to ensure Igbo unity.

Its president, Senator Annie Okonkwo, said the group would step up its dialogue with Igbo sons and daughters to ensure that the race gets its due in Nigeria.
