Following Eze Fredrick Nwajagu, Eze Igbo’s arrest on Saturday by the operatives of the Department of State Services, (DSS) the Igbo youths known as the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, (COSEYL) have demanded his immediate release.
Recall that the DSS arrested Nwajagu for threatening in a viral video on Saturday to invite members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to help protect Ndigbo living in Lagos and their property against attacks by hoodlums.
However, (COSEYL) in a statement by its President General, Goodluck Ibem, said DSS and the Nigeria Police had left the real problem to chase shadows.
Ibem wondered why the Police and DSS did not go after MC Oluomo, who intimidated Igbos during last Month’s gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections.
He lamented that when alleged attacks were meted on the Igbos in Lagos during March 18 elections, DSS and Police lost their steam but suddenly got it back after Nwajagu’s comment.
According to them, Nwajagu’s comment came due to the continued silence of security operatives despite the alleged attack on Igbos in Lagos.
The group warned that security operatives should not maltreat Igbos in Lagos.
“The same police and DSS that arrested Eze Fredrick Nwajagu and other innocent Igbos, what did they do when thugs were killing and attacking Igbos and their properties in Lagos during and after the general elections? The answer is nothing”, the statement reads in part.
Eze Fredrick Nwajagu is the Eze Igbo in Ajao Estate in Lagos.
