Joint team of the Nigerian Police force and the Department of State Services has arrested Fredrick Nwajagu,the Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State.
Gatekeepers News reports that the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said Nwajagu was arrested during a midnight raid.
Hundeyin said, “The operation was carried out at midnight. The security operatives didn’t meet him in his palace. But we found out through intelligence gathering that he had lodged in a hotel in Ejigbo.
“He was traced to the location and arrested around 1 am.
He is currently in the DSS custody where he is being investigated.”
This development follows Nwajagu’s threat to invite members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra to secure the properties of Igbo people in the state.
While speaking in a video that went viral on Friday, Nwajagu threatened to invite members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra to secure the properties 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,” he added.
