The recent deportation of Igbo’s in Lagos State back to their State is hottest trending social news.
Few weeks ago Lagos State Government under the leadership of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola deported some Igbo indegenes back to their state.
This move has being criticizes by many Igbo leaders including former Abia state Governor Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu while Amnesty International has in fact put the number of Lagos State residents deported by the Fashola administration at over 9,000.
The Lagos State Government has sealed a property of a former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, in Park View Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The sealing of the house is coming on the heels of the criticism of Fashola by Kalu over the deportation of 72 residents of Lagos, who are of South-East origin.
The Igbo men and women were dumped by the Lagos State Government under the bridge in Onitsha, Anambra State, in the early hours of the day.
Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu criticizes and request apologies from Governor Fashola over the deportation of the Igbo’s peoples and threatened to sue him.
Reacting to the sealing of Kalu's Park View house, his Special Adviser (Media), Emeka Obasi, said it was done as a revenge for the criticism he(Fashola) received from the former Abia State Governor, who is the Coordinator of Njiko Igbo, a group fighting the cause of the South East.
Obasi said the property had been there for several years and that sealing it after just two weeks of his boss criticsing Fashola over the deportation issue was an indication that there was more to it.
