Icheoku queries where Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State drives the powers to summarily internally deport fellow Nigerians from their country? His heavy handedness of Igbo dominated Ladipo Market traders is all too recent to forget; and now he has deported about 70 Nigerians of Igbo descent out of Lagos Sate under false pretenses and this law breaker is a LAWYER with knowledge of enshrined constitutional rights of these deportees? Anyway, Icheoku reserves further comments on this man until our oped is ready; but we are sure to conclude that by this latest action of the alaaye governor of Lagos State, who did not deem it fit to also deport the thousands of Hausa/Fulani almajiris in Lagos back to the North, that he sure not disposed well to the Igbos of Nigeria? His latest action when read in tandem with his precedents is a serious cause for concern as it attacks the cohesive essence of Nigeria and its viability as a one state. Icheoku asks, has religion something to do with this disparity in treatment since Fashola like the Northern almajiris are both muslims and therefore it is okay to let Northerners remain in Lagos while their Igbo counterparts are forcibly shoved out in the dead of the night and possibly in leg chains and handcuffs - shackled and manacled like slaves and in their COUNTRY? Icheoku is darn furious and calls for concerted action in protest.
