Igbo traders whose shops were sealed by the Nigeria Custom Service (NCS) Monday in Lagos have alleged deliberate plots to destabilise their businesses.
One of the leaders of the group, Chinedu Obeche in a press briefing held alongside the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) in Owerri, yesterday, lamented the sealing of their shops saying it had brought hardship to them and their families.
Obeche said traders had lost over N100million following the shut down of shops located at Maryland, Coscharis Road, Ikoyi where they sold used vehicles, popularly called Tokunbo.
Obeche urged President Muhammadu Buhari and leadership of the National Assembly to come to their rescue and have the shops re-opened.
Leader of the OYC, Igboayaka Igboayaka frowned at the sealing of the shops and sought the intervention of President Buhari.
“OYC is particularly piqued that Customs are carrying out their duties at the borders, there was no need mounting road blocks or storming shops to confiscate items from traders,” said Igboayaka.
“Of particular note, is that some of the actions and policies of the Customs were targeted to harm the success of Igbo-owned businesses and this will, henceforth, not be accepted
“The harassment of Igbo traders in Lagos must stop. Igbo traders must be allowed to go about their legitimate businesses in Lagos and other sections of the country without undue harassment from the Nigerian custom officials,” said Igboayaka.
Igbos of today are cowards. Igboland of today is land of cowards. It is either Igbos join the ongoing Revolution War against fulani bandits from Guinea under the natives Disintegrated Republics or go down with fulani Nigeria in this 2019 in the ongoing Revolution War against fulani bandits from Guinea. Only Biafra Republic in this 2019 will secure Igbos territorial borders, secure Igbos existence securities and freedom worldwide. Biafra Republic is only with the Sword in the ongoing Revolution War against fulani bandits from Guinea under the natives Disintegrated Republics. It is “shoot at sight” against the enemies. Strike point number one are thugs of fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname military, police etc. Slaughter thugs of fulani caliphate with its emirates nickname military, police etc. on every inch of this natives territory of Disintegrated Republics in this 2019. Burn Down barracks etc. of fulani thugs nickname military, police etc. on every inch of this natives territory of Disintegrated Republics in this 2019. The Slaughter of fulani thugs nickname military, police etc. from Borno to Sokoto etc. is Biafra War. More than 99% members of the fulani thugs nickname military, police etc. are this territory natives. It is either they disintegrates now into the natives Disintegrated Republics or die in vain for fulani bandits from Guinea one by one to full conquest in Sokoto in this 2019.

Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!
