We are taking appropriate action on Akiolu – DSS

The Department of State Services
has said that it is taking appropriate
action over the alleged threat of
Ndigbo in Lagos by Oba of Lagos,
Rilwan Akiolu.
Answering questions at the
National Information Centre in
Abuja on Wednesday, spokesperson
for the secret service, Marylyn Ogar,
said the service was handling the
matter though she refused to give
the details of the action being
taken.
Ogar said, “We are taking
appropriate action. Yesterday, the
service had once again warned all
Nigerians not to stoke the embers
of discord within the country.
“If the presidential election had
come and gone successfully, we
wouldn’t want people to begin to
whip up sentiments unnecessarily.
So we are handling it.”
Meanwhile, Governor Rochas
Okorocha of Imo State has directed
a committee comprising notable
traditional rulers in the state to
meet with Oba Akiolu over the
monarch’s recent death threat to
Ndigbo resident in Lagos State.
Following widespread reactions to
the monarch’s warning to Ndigbo
in Lagos to either vote the APC
governorship candidate in the
state, Akinwunmi Ambode, or risk
imminent death in the lagoon,
Okorocha charged the committee,
which will be led by the chairman
of the Imo State Council of
Traditional Rulers, Eze Samuel Ohiri,
with the task of resolving the
matter immediately.
The committee is expected to have
a one-on-one discussion with
Akiolu over the threat and to
extract a commitment from him.
The governor, who is also the
chairman of the APC Governors’
Forum, noted that it was not
enough to accept Akiolu’s denial of
threatening Ndigbo without
traditional rulers from the South-
East meeting with him to discuss
the controversy and the way
forward in the long existing
relationship between the Igbo in
Lagos and their host community.
Also, the Imo State Peoples
Democratic Party officially reacted
to Akiolu’s utterance on
Wednesday.
The party described the monarch’s
threat to Ndigbo as an empty,
malicious and unwarranted threat.
In a statement released by the
party, a copy of which was made
available to one of our
correspondents, the Imo PDP
condemned the death threat,
saying it was unacceptable.
The party wondered why a
monarch would be speaking for a
political party.
It urged Ndigbo resident in Lagos
and other parts of the country to
come out en masse and vote
according to their conscience on
Saturday.
