Igbos Attacked In Lagos

It was gathered that the traders had announced that they will be shutting down their shops on Thursday to get their PVCs ahead of the 2023 general election.

However, when they went to the iNEC office in Ojo, the officials refused to register them because of their tribe, while some of the traders were attacked by thugs.

Video circulating on social media indicates that the incident also happened at the INEC center in amuwo odofin local government area, mostly occupied by Igbos

So Igbo traders closed Alaba market to register for PVC in Ojo Lagos, but thugs were sent to attack them. Igbos don’t vote, but you won’t allow them to register. When they cry now, y’all will say, “Igbos & their victim mentality.” Bcos, it works all the freaking time. Naija..🤣🤣

Igbo traders closed down Alaba market to register for PVC in Ojo, Lagos & thugs were sent to attack them. You won't hear pim from those screaming "you people don't vote", but once we start highlighting these issues, they come to Gaslight you with "you people & victim mentality".

Nigerians are suffering!! Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. Christian or Muslim. We are all going through hardship. So why do we keep using tribalism to fight ourselves instead of joining hands together to fight the cause of this suffering and work towards a better society??
