Police in Lagos, on Saturday, arrested the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate, Fredrick Nwajagu.
Nwajagu while speaking in a viral video on Friday, threatened to invite members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra to secure the property of Igbo people in the state.
He said, “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 take caution. 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.”
Police sources who pleaded anonymity said a joint team of policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services arrested the Igbo leader on Saturday morning.
It was gathered that by the time the security agents got to his palace, he had already fled.
The security agents later trailed him to a hotel in Ejigbo where they eventually arrested him.
