A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, says the unpleasant events happening in Anambra State over the closure of the Onitsha main market suggest that some indigenes are sponsoring banditry in the state.
There has been escalating tension in Onitsha since Governor
Charles Soludo shut down the market for complying with Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB’s Monday sit-at-home.
Security operatives enforcing the closure have been clashing
with protesting traders.
Reacting, Igbokwe in a statement on Wednesday night said it
is “looking and sounding as if Anambra people are the ones hosting Bandits, the
ones supporting their activities in the South East, the most patriotic and the
sponsors of their murderous activities and criminalities in the zone”.
“A line has been drawn by Governor Soludo: Open the Onitsha
Main Market on Monday and go about doing your business or you lose one week of
doing nothing. This is where we are now in the State that has been the backbone
South East.
“We are all watching the drama as it develops. But this is a
game the sponsors of mayhem will never win. Maybe the leaders of the market
think they are above the law.
“The leaders are showing us through actions and deeds that
they are fully IPOB commanders and sponsors”, part of the statement read.
