We Are Taking Appropriate Action On Akiolu – DSS by Onyi42(m): 7:11am On Apr 09, 2015
The Department of State Services has said that
it is taking appropriate action over the alleged
threat of Ndigbo in Lagos by Oba of Lagos, Rilwan
Akiolu.
Answering questions at the National Information
Centre in Abuja on Wednesday, spokesperson for
the secret service, Marylyn Ogar, said the
service was handling the matter though she
refused to give the details of the action being
taken.
Ogar said, “We are taking appropriate action.
Yesterday, the service had once again warned all
Nigerians not to stoke the embers of discord
within the country.
“If the presidential election had come and gone
successfully, we wouldn’t want people to begin to
whip up sentiments unnecessarily. So we are
handling it.”
Meanwhile, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
State has directed a committee comprising
notable traditional rulers in the state to meet
with Oba Akiolu over the monarch’s recent death
threat to Ndigbo resident in Lagos State.
Following widespread reactions to the monarch’s
warning to Ndigbo in Lagos to either vote the
APC governorship candidate in the state,
Akinwunmi Ambode, or risk imminent death in the
lagoon, Okorocha charged the committee, which
will be led by the chairman of the Imo State
Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Samuel Ohiri,
with the task of resolving the matter
immediately.
The committee is expected to have a one-on-one
discussion with Akiolu over the threat and to
extract a commitment from him.
The governor, who is also the chairman of the
APC Governors’ Forum, noted that it was not
enough to accept Akiolu’s denial of threatening
Ndigbo without traditional rulers from the
South-East meeting with him to discuss the
controversy and the way forward in the long
existing relationship between the Igbo in Lagos
and their host community.
Also, the Imo State Peoples Democratic Party
officially reacted to Akiolu’s utterance on
Wednesday.
The party described the monarch’s threat to
Ndigbo as an empty, malicious and unwarranted
threat.
In a statement released by the party, a copy of
which was made available to one of our
correspondents, the Imo PDP condemned the
death threat, saying it was unacceptable.
The party wondered why a monarch would be
speaking for a political party.
It urged Ndigbo resident in Lagos and other parts
of the country to come out en masse and vote
according to their conscience on Saturday.
