It is notable that despite pretences, lip service and face saving moves by APC political gladiators to deny involvement and sue for peace, the reality on ground is that the threats have continued. For instance at Ijadodo and Ijegun areas of Ikotun,Lagos, the Baale of Ijadodo and Oba of Ijegun are physically spear heading the crusades aimed at wilfully destroying investments belonging to the Igbos.

 

Video evidence and open confrontation between Igbo residents leadership in the areas , clearly shows the Baale leading group of misguided Yoruba elements in damaging shops belonging to the Igbos while sparing others owned by Yorubas. when confronted by Igbo Leaders led by their traditional head ,Eze Chika, the Baale was said to have initially lied that he was constructing a new road, a day after the presidential election. However when he was shown an overwhelming evidence of his involvement, he opened up , apologized but insisted that Igbos must vote for Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu of APC or risks being pushed out of the area. In the same manner, an invitation by the oba of Ijegun to the same Igbo Leaders, turned out to be an open threats and warning to all Igbo residents in the area, to vote for Governor Sanwo Olu or loss their property and investments, which they threatened must be re-purchased with three times the current value in the market.
