The Lagos State Government has arraigned the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos, Frederick Nwajago, for alleged terrorism.

He was arraigned before the state high court sitting Tafawa Balewa Square on nine counts, in which he was accused of “attempt to do acts of terrorism, participation in terrorism, meeting to support a proscribed entity, attempt to finance an act of terrorism and preparation to commit an act of terrorism, preferred against him by the state government.”

The PUNCH reported that Nwajagu was arrested on April 1 following a viral video, in which he threatened to invite members of the Indigenous People of Biafra to Lagos to secure properties of Igbo people living in the state.

In the49-second viral video, Nwajago was heard 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 security so that they will stop attacking us at midnight, in the morning, and in the afternoon.

“When they discover that we have our security before they will come, they will know that we have our 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 a stand in Lagos State.”

However, the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, reacting to his statements, said the command would resist IPOB presence in the state.

had earlier been taken before the Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Yaba, which made an order that he should be remanded in the prison custody.

He was on Tuesday taken before Justice Yetunde Adesanya, where he was arraigned by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice.

A Deputy Director in the Ministry of Justice, Jonathan Ogunsanya, who represented the Attorney General of Lagos State, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo, told the court that the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate violated the provision of sections 403(2) and 12(c), 18, 21, 29 & 12(a) of the Terrorism (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022.

When the charges were to him, the defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.

The judge adjourned till July 4 for commencement of trial.

Hmm...

I'm not partaking much in politics nowadays but....Need I ask a question.

Who are really the problems of Nigeria?

All fingers are pointing a culprit which in actual Sense ain't.

How the hell did MC Oluomo walk free and this man arrested in a similar unfoldings

madridguy:
Is MC Oluomo also inviting the IPOB terrorist to come and defend him in Lagos?

Sergio101:


You threatened a group of people.

Later on.....fingers were raised on the people you threatened.

The fingers raised are from people that are loyal to you.

Can we not say you are the one that commanded them directly or indirectly?

kettykings:
This is very good for all igbos, the man will come out free but this should serve as the much needed tonic to stimulate divestment from hostile territories. I just hope igbos will see this as what it represents

madridguy:
The Lagos Police command have said to the general public, bring evidence forward for them to arrest and prosecute MC Oluomo. So i don't see why you guys are still wailing.

MC Oluomo message was directly to Mama Chukwudi which mama Chukwudi herself came publicly that MC is her good customer that always patronize her fruit business.

Sergio101:


Mama chukwudi on two to three occasions?..... wonderful

Let me tell you......

The people that thought they owned Sudan were all crucifying South part of Sudan..

Southern Sudan were "wailing" ......till they gained freedom.

The people that owned power didn't see who to crucify again and began crucifying each other.

A good day is coming

Sergio101:
The Said Eze ndiigbo made such move because because the government of the day weren't perturbed on what's happening to his people.

As the person people looks up to......you already know it's part of your responsibility to seek solution in the time of trouble.

Trust me.......A day will come when table will turn around.

Either in this nation or Another

Someone was saying in their geopolitical zone, they're not subjects to any monarch just to justify their insults on the Ooni of Ife, the direct descendant of Oduduwa yet they're quick to have an Eze Ndigbo in every street corner. Go to any country on the planet, you will find an illegal Eze Ndigbo. The only requirement for this illegal title is either to have lived in that foreign land for long or simply to have a lot of money. I have it on good merit that a great many of all the Eze Ndigbos in foreign lands are drug dealers

madridguy:
Stop deceiving yourself. The Southern Sudan have not been able to sleep with their two eyes closed since they go their independent.

The only universal fact about drug trafficking is that Tinubu forfeited 460,000 dollars to USA, which are proceeds of drug trafficking.

seanfer:


Markets in the east were affected by fire too... between February and April this year there are 2 fire incidents at Onitsha market, are you saying it is done by the yorubas also?
Or is it only during elections that we have fire incidents in lagos markets?
The Eze should not made such comment knowing fully well what happened during the elections that tension was still high...

Draslo:

If all the accountants and financial advisors in the world are investigated, many if not all of them will have to forfeit some of their money. Use your brain ko ma so ri bu

Sergio101:


With whose word to be shifted to?.

If a soludo has said "if you ain't voting APGA, Don't come out".

Will Anambrarians call it a joke.

Again.....there are video evidence of people that are chased out of the PU because they speak and look igbo.

So I'm not talking about burning of shops here

Maize247:
there is no table anywhere that will turn. This country is not one and can never one. Respect your host community and stop interference arrogantly in their politics

seanfer:


Was the Eze talking about election or he was talking about fire incidents in the markets?
Are there no videos of people been beaten and intimidated in the SE just because they voted for other parties?
You people should not be making this look like it is only Igbos that are hated in this country...
An elderly man was beaten by young boys in Enugu just because the man voted APC... the man that celebrated APC win in anambra was murdered less than 2 weeks after and you guys are not saying anything about that, but always complain about what happen in lagos.

Na you wey suppose go buy brain cos your skull is empty.

Keyamo admitted Tinubu shared apartment with drug dealers. Tinubu and his wife also had a joint account with drug dealers. Obvious he was working parttime as 'accountant' to a drug cartel.

ProphetM0hammad:


That's the consequence you okoros misbehavior during the presidential election.

Someone already told you, Nigeria is only one on paper.

As long as your dream is to flee your 5 plots of landlocked eastern state, don't pass your boundary wherever you are.

Let the ibos go and queue behind another candidate in the next election again in order to disrupt the local politics, the consequences will be more dire.

You are even lucky, if you all had tried this in the north, they will slit your throats on the spot
