Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), said on Monday that those who want Igbo out of Lagos State or Nigeria should conduct a Biafra referendum.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “If you want Igbos out of Lagos or Nigeria, stop #demolishing their properties; that’s cowardly. Instead, do a referendum on Biafra and brace for the resounding result. Until then, stop turning Nigeria into an open-air prison for Igbos. From the pogrom to now, Igbos have had enough.”
There have been claims that the Lagos State government is targeting and demolishing markets populated by Igbos. Also, there are rampant allegations that buildings owned by Igbos are being demolished by the state government.
One of those affected was former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike, who claimed that his house was demolished by the Lagos State government despite getting due approval from relevant authorities.
