The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Wednesday condemned the viral video of a lady threatening to poison Yoruba and Edo people.
In a TikTok video, the lady with the name @Anyi_anambra asked Igbos to lace the food of Yoruba and Edo people with poison.
In the video, the lady promised to encourage other Igbos to poison Yoruba and Benin people, saying: “Let Ndigbo get heart of wickedness and to start poisoning Yoruba and Edo. To put ota pia-paia, eat and die sniper, I will put it in Yoruba and Benin food for them to die.”
Reacting to the call, Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Okey Emuchay, assured the Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, that the lady behind the video is a merchant of woes who deploys despicable and incendiary rhetoric to create ethnic mistrust and conflicts where none exists.
Emuchay disclosed that Yorubas, Edo, and Igbo people share a lot in common, hence, the video should be ignored.
In a statement signed by Ohanaeze’s National Publicity Secretary, Alex Ogbonnia, Emuchay urged security agencies to go after the lady behind the video.
The statement reads: “Ohanaeze would have ignored the social media video clip as coming from a deranged psychopath or one of the fictitious narratives, which with the Internet device is twisted, dressed, coated and delivered to the unsuspecting and obliging public.
