Ndi Igbo Press release
NDIGBO LAGOS PRESS STATEMENT Lagos. 22 OCTOBER 2020 For Immediate Release Ndigbo Lagos associates itself with the demands of the #ENDSARS protests across the nation of Nigeria. It is regrettable that miscreants hijacked the genuine protests resulting in destruction of lives and properties and looting of shops in several cities in Nigeria, especially in Lagos.

May the souls of the departed rest in perfect…

Igbo Doctor in Las Vegas doctor denies allegations he runs militia accused of slayings in Nigeria

No Comments
