Sanwo-Olu’s Aide, Joe Igbokwe Escapes Attack From Suspected Angry Igbo Youths
LAGOS MAY 19TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Government on Environmental Cleansing and Protection, Hon Joe Igbokwe was at the early hours of Monday attacked by some group of youths identified as Igbo Youths who lives in Lagos.
According to
eye witnesses, Honourable Igbokwe narrowly escaped the attack with his driver
on his way to work, along Surulere axis of the State, when some group of men
trooped out in their numbers and descended on his vehicle, trying so hard to
bring him and the driver out of the car, but luck was on his side when the
driver managed to zoom off without minding the traffic signals.
However, it was also gathered that the group of young men who were speaking
Igbo went after Honourable Igbokwe but couldn’t get him as the driver geared up
the vehicle speed. Meanwhile, the Police arrived at the scene to calm the
situation down but the youths were unable to listen to them as they were busy
chanting chorus of war in Igbo dialect “We will catch Joe Igbokwe, either
here in Lagos or in Igboland. We have declared him wanted. Enough is enough. We
have had enough of his nonsense.” They chorused.
However, it could be recalled that Honourable Joe Igbokwe has been against the Biafra Movement right from the time of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu till date and has been championing lots of media war against the movement.
