The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has disowned a report claiming the group condemned the arrest of the suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, by the State Security Service (SSS).

Mr Emefiele was arrested by the SSS, hours after President Bola Tinubu suspended him from office.

Chima Uzor, who claimed to be Ohanaeze’s director of national interest matters, had in a statement on Saturday, alleged that the CBN governor’s arrest was part of Mr Tinubu’s “scheme of ethnic cleansing of Igbos from public office and witch-hunting.”

Ohanaeze reacts
But reacting, Ohanaeze President-General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, in a statement on Saturday, said the Igbo group never commented on the suspension and arrest of the CBN governor.

Mr Iwuanyanwu said the office of the director of national interest matters does not exist in the Ohanaeze leadership structure. He described Mr Uzor as an “impersonator” who is not known to the group.

The president-general appealed to the country’s security agencies to intervene in the matter, which he noted, was a criminal impersonation.

He warned Nigerians to be alert for “many fraudsters who are tarnishing the good image and reputation of Ohanaeze Ndigbo” by making false publications in the group’s name for selfish interests.

‘Our stand on Emefiele’s suspension, arrest’
Mr Iwuanyanwu said Ohanaeze has no plan to interfere with the investigation of Mr Emefiele by the SSS and other security agencies but the group will intervene if a court of law establishes his innocence.

“Ohanaeze also has no intention whatsoever to interfere with the disciplinary actions by the government on officials of the government.

“Individuals have the right to go to court and when the court of law proves the individual innocent and Ohanaeze is convinced that the individual is innocent, Ohanaeze will take every step necessary to assist the individual,” he said.

“On the other hand, if the individual is guilty, Ohanaeze will be unable to assist,” Mr Iwuanyanwu added.

the Igbo group never commented on the suspension and arrest of the CBN governor. Even his own people know say he has committed a lot of atrocities.

As usual, Tinubu has recruited faceless idiots to issue statements in the name of Ohaneze to make it seem like Ohaneze is defending a criminal who the rest of Nigeria is celebrating his arrest.

That’s how they bought and commissioned another idiot who calls himself Okechukwu Isiguzoro to issue scrupulous statements in the name of Ohaneze during the elections.

What we don’t understand is why Tinubu and Owambe boys are going this far just to tarnish the name of Igbos.

Or are they so threatened by Igbos?

Is only the ignoramus fellows will think that Ohanaeze Ndigbo is against the arrest of emefile the biggest scammer among others.

Wait o.. sincerely, I don't understand this Ohaneze guys. These guys are a bunch of joke. So childish.
Always issuing statements and later coming out to debunk them. Nawao.

headless chickens...no be wetin una talk when the statement was issued . We all saw how u guys were having orgasms and applauding the nonsense but u don dey change mouth again say na Tinubu😂... You two faced hypocrites 🙄

You've done well clearing the air. I was so pissed off when I read the news of Ohaneze making that ridiculous claim of ethnic cleansing.

No sensible Igbo man should shed tears for Godwin Emefile, he should be made to face the music with the harshest , and if he choose to sink and drawn alone without implicating all the northern cabals that hijacked CBN as thier cash cow, so be it.

God should strengthen Tinubu, grant him knowledge and power to pilot the affairs of this Nation.

My greatest Joy is that Tinubu got no godfather, he has no one to please but Nigerians.

We owed Tinubu nothing but our prayers & , prayers for good health, God's guidance and directions, but he owes Nigerians everything.

Keep denying it's not your useless red cap chiefs .

All I know is that Igbos were all over social media yesterday condemning Emefile's sack and arrest.

It wasn't fake news .

It's 0koro simply backtracking after we get it to them hot over their useless statement.

Stop denying

When I saw the post..... I refused to comment on it....


Emefiele needs to face whatever is coming his way...

Everyone who worked closely with Buhari reduced their activities during the election era. They began to maintained quietness and allowed the election to produced it's candidate.

Emefiele was bittered about the whole process... Probably because he was denied opportunity to campaign or contest due to the electoral act that was signed by Buhari.

He decided to make Nigerians suffer and now we're back using the same currency that he never took his time to adjust properly.

I how I stood at the ATMs for days.

I transactions I did that I got debits but never went through.


Emefiele should answer to his crimes! This is nothing to ethnic cleansing....

Brown envelope Nigeria Media with junk unverified news

We already know it is the "handiwork" of "obisenseless/ipob" media propaganda outlet!

But they are all permanently inconsequential as far as bringing that criminal Emiefele to book is concerned!

Emiefele must reap the fruits of all the "rotten seeds" he has sown because whatsoever a man sow, that shall he reap!

Mischievous are trying hard to degenerate the relationship btw BAT and Alaigbo


This is time for us to unite and move this country to the promise Land


Enough of tantrums from East to West or North to South and Vice versa

Una dey mad!

Cowards.

A new sheriff is in town, Jagaban!

All those that need to be fvcked, will be fvck. Jagaban is not Buhari, no feelings, and he doesn't answer to anyone.

May God continue to strengthen president BAT

The president should call his boys to order

They are playing with fire. A very dangerous game.

They should learn from 1994 Rwandan debacle

Emefiele should face the music alone.
Useless Dokubo and his Niger Deltans, have never condemn his arrest, why should Ohaneze Ndioshi(group of thieves) put mouth ?
