Ohanaeze Uncovers Plot To Cause Mayhem In Abuja

The Youth wing of the apex Igbo cultural organization, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has raised the alarm over an alleged plot by a fake group Ohanaeze Youth Movement to cause mayhem in Abuja.

Daily Post reports that the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) made a statement on Wednesday, September 30, in Enugu, claiming that he same group had earlier staged a protest at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.

The OYC called on the inspector general of police and the director-general of the Department of State Services to monitor the activities of the said group and respond appropriately.

The statement signed by Comrade Stanley Nwanka, the deputy national secretary of the OYC, and Obinna Adibe, the national publicity secretary, reads in part:

“The Ohanaeze Youth Council Worldwide is pained and deeply worried by the well orchestrated plan by some elements to drag its name to the current happenings at the national assembly for selfish reasons.

“We want to state categorically that at no time did the Ohanaeze Youth Council sit to discuss the current happenings at the National Assembly, neither did it sponsor or take part in any protest under whatever guise.

“Therefore, we were indeed shocked and embarrassed over media reports that Ohanaeze Youth Movement staged protest at the National Assembly. It for this purpose that we alert the general public that there is nothing like Ohanaeze Youth Movement. The youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is clearly identified as Ohanaeze Youth Council.

“What happened at the National Assembly was a gathering of some criminal elements, who were transported to Abuja for some sinister motives. It beats our imagination why they chose to hide under the Ohanaeze Youth Council to satisfy their pay-masters.

“No true Igbo man or woman could have gone to Abuja to engage in such a jamboree on the 29th of September, a day set aside as National Igbo-day celebration. As such, these people are not from Igbo land, neither are they members of the Ohanaeze Youths.”

The council urged security agencies to go after leaders of the group before they launch an attack in Abuja.

“We are aware that before that organized and politically sponsored protest, one of them, who claims to be a lawyer went from one television station to the other where he tried to sell his dummy to unsuspecting members of the public.

“Having succeeded in deceiving the public for the first time, using the name of Ohanaeze Youths, their next plan is to launch a violent attack in Abuja in order to put Ndigbo in disrepute. We urge security operatives to go after them before they strike a second time,” the group added.

Earlier this week, the OYC made another statement, asking President Muhammadu Buhari to release members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) who were detained.

The group noted that it was injustice that members of MASSOB were detained while the federal government would negotiate with Boko Haram and Niger Delta militants.
