On Monday, Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), said that those who want Igbo to leave Lagos State or Nigeria should hold a Biafra referendum.

“If you want Igbos out of Lagos or Nigeria, stop #demolishing their properties; that’s cowardly. Instead, do a referendum on Biafra and brace for the resounding result. Until then, stop turning Nigeria into an open-air prison for Igbos. From the pogrom to now, Igbos have had enough.”

According to reports, the Lagos State administration is targeting and demolishing Igbo-populated markets. Furthermore, there are widespread reports that the state administration is demolishing Igbo-owned buildings.

Former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike was among those affected, claiming that his house was demolished by the Lagos State government despite receiving consent from necessary authorities.
