Apex Igbo socio-cultural
organization, the Ohanaeze
Ndigbo on Sunday demanded the
immediate release of Mr. Ifeanyi
Ubah, the Managing Director of
Capital Oil.

Ubah, who was picked up some
days ago by the Department of
State Services, DSS, has remained
in detention.

In a press statement issued by the
Secretary General of the Ohanaeze
Youth Council, OYC, Mazi Okwu
Nnabuike he described the oil
mogul’s arrest as a continuation
of endless persecution of Ndigbo by the present administration.

While calling on the DSS to
immediately free Ubah, he decried
a situation where security
operatives would arrest and
detain a Nigerian before
commencing investigation.

“We yet again condemn this
endless clamp down on Igbo sons
and daughters by federal
government agencies.

“It has now become a tradition
that no week passes by without
either the EFCC or the DSS coming
after an Igbo son or daughter.

“It is a sad commentary
considering that these persons are
always detained for a prolonged
period than permitted by law. We
condemn a situation where people
are detained before investigations are carried out on the issues
leading to their arrest.

“To this end, we demand the
immediate release of Chief Ifeanyi
Ubah. If the DSS is sure he has
committed any offence he should
be charged to a court of
competent jurisdiction.

“We say enough to the
persecution of Ndigbo in this
country. This idea of silencing
every opposing voice will not
augur well for our democracy”,
the youths said.

The OYC also in the statement
saluted the Deputy Senate
President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu
on his 55th birthday, describing
him as a good ambassador of
Ndigbo.

According to them “he has
demonstrated a capacity as a
political leader who has refused to
sacrifice the interest of Ndigbo on
the altar of personal gains.

“Chief Ekweremadu has remained
one of the few voices that have
refused to be silenced but had
continued to champion the
interest of Ndigbo.

“We salute him and assure him of
our continuous support to him; the
entire Igbo youths are solidly
behind him because he has proved
to be a man we can trust.”

Funny clowns

Pls let Uba answer for what he did. I jst dnt knw where this ohaneze whatever belongs to. Today they are against Biafra movement, tomortow they talk otherwise.

Ohaneze are a disgrace. They should stop making it look like we igbos protect thieves in our midst. We don't. Infact, 2 days ago, i witnessed a thief being burned to death at electrical dealers market in Obosi. So why should Ifeanyi ubah's case be different?

Points to note:

* Unlawful detention before investigation

* Detained for a prolonged
period than permitted by law

Constitutionally they are right!

This is the impression most other Nigerians are forming about Igbos now.

Wasn't It Ifeanyi Ubah that was preaching one Nigeria to his Chi and aka recently ?

Lol! Why should anyone Igbo man with brain cells be worried about his incarceration?
Ohanaeze should mind their own business, biko. Ifeanyi is OK in the hands of his fellow Nigerians

Hw many Igbo have bin arrested for corruption sef compare to Yoruba and Hausas yet we don't hear them giving useless ultimatum...na waa o..

And who cares about Nigerians impression about Igbos? Who has their Igbophobic impressions helped?

Anwu achacharona ndi kwu oto, ofoduzia ndi makpu amakpu.

Ohanaeze should leave uba there, I'm Igbo but I hate criminals.

if you are sensible enough you won't call mr.Ubah a thief. "you are innocent until proven otherwise by a court of law " the constitution is supreme not hearsay aka beer Parlour gossips

APC are working towards 2019.

Read to gain understanding. Knowledge will free you from hate.

Points to note:

* Unlawful detention before investigation

* Detained for a prolonged

Constitutionally they are right!

And I'll add my own:

* Refusing to present him before the court of law is an abuse on his right
* Media judgement is completely wrong. Every accused is innocent until proven guilty.
* etc


Afonjas, I no say una go school. Don't allow tribal hate to blind you.

Lalasticlala, Mynda44, this post deserve front page. A Nigerian is been detained unlawfully without been charged to court.

Ohnaeze, too little too late of an old toothless bulldog. Why the reporter is calling una apex is laziness on their part

legislatively:
Ohanaeze should leave uba there, I'm Igbo but I hate criminals.

You guys type out of emotion. Where are your proof that he is a criminal. He is still standing as an accused, not until proven guilty before you can tag him a criminal. Media trial is base on hearsay and emotional feelings.

The usual ranting and wailing habitual of the kindergarten tribe of flat heads.

The way you are jumping on every comment to defend Ifeayin Uba is giving me feelings that you are benefiting from him but unfortunately you don't know him, it's better you allow those who knows him speak.

I have been waiting for dem since, I knew dey wud support him, dey must trivialize n tribalize d matter. Always gud @ supporting CORRUPT anything dat is corrupt. Only dem will support a yoruba, hausa or igbo man dat is corrupt.

are you in this country atall? Dose this gov't obey the rule of law?

Ifeanyi Ubah is a thief who thrived under Jonathan when stealing was not corruption. Thankfully, nemesis has finally caught up with him. He joined APC thinking it was business as usual and went on to steal 11 billion naira worth of NNPC products. The DSS should not only detain him indefinitely, but seize his depot and allow AMCON to sell it in order to recover the stolen funds. Igbos don't cover thieves. Ohaneze are just a group of self-serving businessmen. They don't speak for us igbos.
