Igbo residents in Lagos State have been urged by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to defend their homes and businesses from thugs led by the former NURTW chairman of Lagos State, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo.

Threatening Igbos in Lagos State, according to IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful, is a threat to all of Biafra.

IPOB bemoaned the Yoruba leaders’ silence regarding the attack on Igbos and their businesses in Lagos State in a statement released by Powerful.

Powerful insisted that the silence of Yoruba politicians over the attack on Igbos in Lagos State has shown that the age long bitterness can’t be healed.

He insisted that the silence of Yoruba leaders was an indication that they agree with the plot to eject Igbos from Lagos State forcefully.

According to Powerful: “The Indigenous People of Biafra led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu condemn the numerous abductions and attacks on Ndigbo, resident in Lagos by the notorious thugs and criminals led by MC Olomo.

“In the interim, we encourage Ndigbo to form gallant groups to defend themselves from the tribal vagabonds and political thugs. Yoruba criminals and cultists recruited by the politicians are pushing the Igbos and expecting us to react and we must respond to them shortly.”
