Lagos Eze Ndigbo’s Trial Begins Today [Details]

The trial of one Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, Frederick Nwajagu for alleged terrorism has been postponed to today in a Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS).

Following the absence of Nwajagu’s attorney, the trial judge, Justice Yetunde Adesanya, delayed the case.
Nwajagu, 67, was detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) in April for allegedly threatening to invite IPOB members to Lagos in order to protect Igbo property in the state.

He was arraigned on May 9 on a nine-count charge bordering on the alleged offence in a suit marked LD/21505C/2023.
