The Lagos State Police Command has given details of the arrest of Fredrick Nwajagu, the Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate in Lagos State, who threatened to invite men of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) to the state.
Nwajagu said in a viral video that he would invite the outlawed IPOB to protect Igbos in Lagos.
This is as the Command also disclosed that Nwajagu had been taken into the custody of the Department of State Services.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said Nwajagu was arrested during a midnight raid.
He 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.”
Speaking in a viral video on Friday, he said, “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, they will think twice before attacking us. I am not saying a single word to be hidden.”
He also charged the public to make his claims go viral.
