On Wednesday, the Council of Elders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo International voted to petition President Muhammadu Buhari regarding Igbo profiling in Lagos State since the start of the 2023 general elections.

The group also stated that they would write a letter of protest to the National Assembly and other relevant agencies to express their outrage over the attacks on Igbos in Lagos.

Ohanaeze revealed this in a communique published following the Elders in Council Virtual Meeting in Enugu, which was signed by the Chairman of the Council of Elders, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okey Emuchay, and others.

They stated that a high-powered Igbo delegation would be sent to Lagos to meet with some state leaders in order to develop a long-term peaceful and cordial relationship between the Igbo and the Yoruba in Lagos.

They said, “Amongst other terms of reference, the report must indicate: the number of Igbos killed, the number of Igbos injured and hospitalized, number of Igbos permanently incapacitated.

“The report shall include the comprehensive report of Igbo assets and property destroyed, including the burning of the market.

“These unpatriotic Nigerians destroyed properties belonging to the Igbo. For example, a whole market was burnt. The information available to us reveal that they are still threatening the lives of Igbos and their property in Lagos State.”

 

Remember that during the March governorship election, several thugs said to be affiliated to the All Progressives Party, APC, warned Igbos against voting.

The attacks came after Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, won in Lagos.
