After an Emergency Consultative Caucus meeting in Enugu, a follow up call by Concerned Pan-Igbo organisations for the Igbo to get ready to defend themselves of the threat of impending attack by some jihadist organizations was issued.
The apex Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo had earlier last week issued such a call to Ndigbo.
Convened by Professor Uzodimma Nwala led Alaigbo Development Forum (ADF), the groups after exhaustive discussions came out with the following decisions:
“That there is obvious agenda of a bloody Islamization and jihad to conquer, occupy, take over and enslave Alaigbo and elsewhere in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
That Ndigbo should do everything in their power to defend themselves, their wives, children and their ancestral land.
