Urgent Media Release

IPOB INFILTRATION OF LAGOS: LET PEACE REIGN

We write to alert the Police and the Lagos State Government about dangerous developments across Lagos.

We warn that elements whose forebears spurred the Civil war are at it again, this time in a more dangerous, determined and vicious manner.

We are compelled to inform the police and the LASG about the presence of IPOB SPECIAL SQUARD IN LAGOS led by one Nnamdi Okereke, a retired Soldier.

We are in custody of information that this group has in the past two months brough dangerous weapons to Lagos hidden ij several market places in pursuance of the Biafra Agenda.

The SQUARD has the mandate to attack Igbo markets and burn them. The strategy is to invoke sympathy for Igbo ahead of the election

The mandate is to cause enough crisis and disaffection among Yoruba and Igbo with the hope that many Yoruba and Igbo will sympathise and vote for Labour Party which they seem to be supporting.

The IPOB SPECIAL SQUARD are about 97 well trained men made up of some retired Igbo soldiers, civilians and retired police ratings who belong to the IPOB Western Command with its headquarters in Asaba.

They also have designed to kill fellow unsuspecting Igbo ahead of the election in order to seek sympathy and portray the Igbo as being attacked by Yoruba.

15 major markets have been marked for attacks. They will also attack Yoruba markets leaving the impression that Igbos are fighting back to spur Yoruba into counter attacks.

This is a plan to cause national crisis and scuttle the outcome of the last Presidential election while preventing or scuttling the Governorship election come Saturday.

We have sought audience with the Lagos State Governor on two occasions without success hence our decision to make this public.

We would have approached the police but we are not sure of who may be working as agents for IPOB.

The grand design is to turn Lagos into turmoil and spur violence across Nigeria.

This they assume will further the cause of Biafra agitation their canddiate having lost the Presidential election.

We call on the Police, the Lagos State Government to live up to its responsibility by nipping this problem in the bud.

We are Delta Igbo. Some of us have priviledge to attend some of the Igbo meetings. We do not belong to the mainstream Igbo. We are infact Western Igbo and part of the old Western Region
Unfortunately, when there is any crisis, we are a major target since we are grouped together.

We have passed on this vital information with the hope that drastic steps will be taken to forestall any major crisis ahead, during and after the Saturday election. Thank you.

Signed

Chief Levinus Obiakor

Mr John Ishiekwene

Thank you Delta Igbos for exposing these wicked okoros who are trying to destroy Yorubaland. They will fail woefully and we will use their flat heads to decorate our latrines.

No be small thing

Lol at the letter.

Let those APC thugs continue to provoke Igbos in Lagos. They are still planning to attack Igbos and that is why they came up with this childish letter and even a mad man can see their plan in that letter to attack Igbo trades.

We know the game but the only thing holding Igbos back is that if we fight back, the responsible Yorubas who have properties and still voted for Peter Obi may be the ones to lose their high rising buildings and not those stupid thugs that will definitely run away and they have no pin. Again, the Yorubas as a whole are not part of this evil to attack Igbo traders but just a few urchins who doesn't know what war is all about. There are many Yorubas condemning the attack on Igbos. So, we not let those stupid thugs turn this election into tribal politics.
