• Igbo traders blocked from opening shops for not voting APC

The pan-Igbo cultural organization, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos branch, has raised red alert over renewed attack on Igbo people in Lagos State on Monday after the Saturday presidential and National Assembly elections. Fresh report on Ohanaeze Ndigbo social media platform indicated that all the Igbo traders in Oshodi Market have been banned from opening their shops to sell their products because they didn’t vote for the APC on Saturday.

Several thugs were said to be firing gun shots to drive the Igbo traders away from their shops.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has admonished all Igbo people to avoid the area and other trouble zones in the state till the general elections are concluded.

It will be recalled that the Igbo were attacked at Ago Palace, Okota, including Ladipo and Oshodi axis and Aguda, Surulere on Election Day, their votes were burnt at Ago Palace, Okota, while ballot boxes were carried away at Ladipo, Aguda, Surulere. Thus, the votes of the Igbo resident in Lagos did not count in most parts of Lagos State.
