Your allegation of killings, ploy to incite violence against Igbos - Ohanaeze replies ACF

The Igbo Youth leadership under the aegis of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, says allegations against South-East purportedly raised in the media that over 30 killed, 50 trucks and trailers belonging to Northerners were destroyed by Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB by Arewa Consultative Forum National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Yawe, is, “a ruse and ploy to complicate issues and incite violence against Igbos in the North”. 

The apex Igbo youth body in an electronic mail sent to Fresh Angle International this morning, Wednesday October 28, claimed: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had investigated across 95 LGAS of South-East on the alleged harassment of Northerners, but discovered that there was no iota of truth from the (unconfirmed) news dished out by Emmanuel Yawe to the public, as we urge Northern leaders to cross-check their facts on Security issues, before going public”. 

The mail authored by President-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, 

Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and the Secretary-General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, added: “OYC categorically deny these allegations by ACF On the killings of Northerners in the South-East as mere rumours, falsehood and fake news, and Igbo youths challenge Emmanuel Yawe to produce the video clips of the said killings in the South-East. As Northerners are safe and doing their normal businesses without any form of intimidation or harassment in the South-East. We want to reassure the Leadership of Arewa Consultative Youth Forum led by Alhaji Yerima Shettima of the safety of Northerners in the South-East and urge them to remain committed to the mutual agreement reached with OYC on the safety of Igbos in the North”.
