Sit-At-Home: Igbo In Diaspora Are Afraid To Come Home To Celebrate Xmas With Their Parents –  Joe Igbokwe

The Special Adviser for Drainage and Water Resources to the Lagos State Governor, Joe Ignokwe has said Igbo in Diaspora are afraid to come home for Christmas to see their parents, in-laws, and loved ones.

Joe Igbokwe made the statement following the attack in Enugu on Saturday by hoodlums enforcing Simon Ekpa’s five-day sit-at-home order in the South East.

Joe Igbokwe said: “In the name of Sit-at-Home Order, hundreds of people have been killed and hundreds of vehicles are reduced to ashes in the last two years.”

Joe Igbokwe said Igbo in diaspora are now afraid to come home, and those who will come will stay in Lagos or Abuja.

Joe Igbokwe’s house was allegedly set on fire in Nnewi, Anambra State, in 2021. Mr. Igbokwe accused members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of the incident, although the IPOB leadership distanced its members from the attack.
