Heavy attack on Igbos living in Lagos state is being hatched by the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC and will be prosecuted in the event that All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu loses the February 25 election.
Pointblanknews.com also learnt from multiple sources that a huge catchment of arms and ammunition are being stockpiled by this outlawed militant group in Yoruba land in readiness of the attack that is hoped to end the existence of the Igbos in Lagos.
According to one of the sources who is both an APC and Afenifere member, in his words said they were asked to kill Igbo men precisely in Lagos if Tinubu fails to win the election and this attack will last a week in some area populated by Ndigbo.
Such areas include, Oshodi – Isolo (Mafoluku area to Oke Afa)
Ijora Badia ( Amukoko, Alaba Suru, Orile and Environs.
Others include Ikate, Itire, Ijesha, Cele, Okota., Ajegunle, Olodi Apapa, Coconut, Ojokoro – Ijaye, Agbara, Ojo and Okoko
Satellite town and Festac, Mushin, towards Ojuelegba amongst others.
According to the source, “We have been instructed to purchase guns ahead of the elections that if for any reason BAT loses out on the election then we will attack the Igbo’s in their homes at night and make it look like robbery or riot between gang of touts, not to attract international attention.”
Another source who confirmed the planned attack against Igbos in Lagos claimed that his only concern is because the mother of his only son is an Igbo woman whose parents live in Lagos and they are presently contemplating on moving out of Lagos..
He said, “BAT is ready to sink Nigeria at all cost if he loses. He believes that he can only lose this election if the Igbos fail to support his ambition. He will not spare them and he has boasted that he will flush them out of Lagos.”
Also an ex-Local Government Area, Chairman in Lagos who spoke with our correspondent over the phone on Monday said, “what the Igbo’s will face if BAT is voted out will remain in the history of Nigeria forever.”
He also indicated that meetings and more meetings are going on between the politicians and touts to ensure Igbo’s do not vote in Lagos at all cost.
“The bike riders from Niger republic that have flooded the entire Lagos are now being recruited into Lagos bus garages as thugs against the Igbo’s ahead of the election and are being paid daily the sum of #2000 just to ensure they don’t turn down the offer.
“Please, please and please make this known to those whose voices we hear and who have the ears of the international community. I am worried and I know this is true.
“I advise you that we should be guided by Tinubu’s election day template as demonstrated in Ekiti and Osun elections. APC members cause trouble in polling units where they are losing. And the electoral law says wherever there’s trouble, the election should be cancelled. We have to sensitize ourselves who are stakeholders to find a way of getting the message to our people back home.”
Pointblanknews.com reports that in 2019 general election, while elections went on smoothly in most places in Lagos, particularly areas dominated by the indigenes but the reverse was the case in areas like Amuwo-Odofin, festac, satellite, Ajegunle and other areas believed to be populated by the Igbos. Political thugs were used to disrupt elections, while electoral materials were carted away, destroyed or. burnt even in the presence of helpless security agencies.
