Lagos State Government has debunked report that it has abolished all Eze Ndigbo titles in the state.
This came after the arrest of Eze Ndigbo, Ajao Estate who allegedly released a video calling for the invasion of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) into Lagos State on Friday.
Debunking the report as rumour, the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said in a short statement that the report seems like April fool.
He said, “It seems like April fool. Let’s ignore now.”
Some indigenes of Lagos had warned the politicians in occupation of authority in the state to beware of reckless us of executive powers especially one that is capable of igniting ethnic conflicts in the cosmopolitan society.
Before the refutation by the state government, one of them had said the authorities had better come out to deny the report as rumour.
