The youth wing of the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has accused the Nigerian Government of masterminding the ordeal of former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu in the UK. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council was reacting to Friday's ruling of a Federal High Court in Abuja ordering the interim forfeiture of 40 properties allegedly linked to Ekweremadu.

Nigerian Government Behind Senator Ekweremadu's UK Ordeal, Bias Against Him Over His Igbo Origin —Ohanaeze YouthsOhanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council was reacting to Friday's ruling of a Federal High Court in Abuja ordering the interim forfeiture of 40 properties allegedly linked to Ekweremadu.

It said,"The ex-parte interim assets forfeiture order by Federal High Court, Abuja, is to say the least most cruel and whoever filed that suit at this time that Ekweremadu is incarcerated and unable to defend himself has no conscience or slightest regard for the cardinal pillars of law and justice, particularly the principle of “audi alteram partem” ."

“Moreover, EFCC’s claim that its investigators traced to Ekweremadu properties that he had dutifully declared in his assets declaration is ridiculous and not different from Mungo Park travelling thousands from Scotland to discover the River Niger. The group said, “It will interest Nigerians to know that in a bid to please the London Metropolitan Police, which has been its benefactor since inception; in a bid to confiscate Ekweremdu’s assets; and for whatever promises of ensuring they secure their future outside EFCC after President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the EFCC penned a malicious letter for the London Metropolitan Police, which the prosecutors tendered against Ekweremadu’s bail in London court back in July.

“Why is the EFCC so bent on continually infusing themselves into the case of Ekweremadu’s daughter’s health with extraneous issues?

Mhhhh! tribalist are all the time behave negatively on any issue of national important

Nigerian government is a criminal and cannot be vouched for 😵‍💫

Ds people again.shey na buhari tell am 2 sponsor person go UK 2 go harvest his organ ni.nawao

I as an Igbo man, I disagree with Ohaneze... He should carry his cross

He made a mistake in the organ donor he picked, nevertheless, any Nigerian that doesn't know that if you enter trouble outside Nigeria, whether you are right or wrong, just or unjust, your country as it has been, will abandon you, may learn the hard way.

Shut your mouth up!, when he was approven python to come and kill his people, he wasn't igbo man then. ITHAVE BEEN MADE CLEAR, SERVE THE ZOO AND COME BACK IN SHAME. Others should learn from him before it is late. What goes around comes around.

A very useless man.

This is why Nigeria and Africa as a whole are not move forward. Everything is about tribalism (or self interest) without taking notes of what actually happened. Please let's stop this attitude that doesn't encourage progress. We are one Nigerian and should be realistic.

When he was looting did he remember his igboness? Let him face the music, abegiiiii!

Nonsense A criminal is always a criminal is not about tribe or religion..

I have said this and will continue to say it, some media reporters should be seriously questioned and cautioned, should be at the top list.

He was baised against himself and his igbo Origin .

People can say what they want, oga senator broke another country law not in nija he can walk away in the park hands in pocket from and the arrested him and placed him in detention with trial following it, and over here the vultures are feeding on his ill gotten loots So?

Which Igbo origin? that is supporting Fulani man for President, you people shouldn't deceived us..he should carry his Cross.

😹😹😹 a beg getat

Serve fulani and come back in shame said by the prophet and messiah of my time mazi Nnamdi kanu

I am Igbo Man, I doubt this narrative except Nigeria has contaminated UK legal system and Police. As for contaminating others by Nigeria, I won’t doubt that but if UK is as pure as it used to be, this is fabricated.

Was it government that sent him on errands to UK this Ohaneze defend what is not defensible. They see everything as persecution.

Stop playing this card

Silly

Nigeria govt also made him not to be a good senator and spokesperson to Igbo people.

Lol story. Igbos don't care.

Who are these Ohanaeze youths? We igbo youths disassociate ourself from this statement. We urge UK to treat other Nigerian politicians the way they're doing Ekweremadu irrespective of the politician's Origin. Igbo youths are happy with UK and 100% in support of UK.

Ohaneze actually forgot to add that Nigerian Government are the one that lobbied the gods to cause Ekweremadu's daughter to require a transplant.

This is the reason y nobody takes these people serious

This was how they defended thieves and looters from past administration, criminalising their prosecution based on tribal sentiments.

Sense is far from some pple I swear

Good Morning to Ohaneze. You guys have failed in your mandate to the people.

This is morning for all of them

This ọhaneze youth no get water for head

Factually inaccurate. The issues of organ donation, organ harvesting is taking very seriously. The hospital will fact check the most minute details to ensure that you are still willing to continue voluntarily. It how the system works.

As usual. Blame blame blame.

😁😁 Confusion..The same Ekweremadu that IPOBs and OBIDIOTS were rejoicing over his misfortune 😏

Ridiculous claim. Did the gov't force him to ship the young man to Britain for organ harvesting?

Rubbish! Same Igbo people pelted him with eggs in Germany. Stop this ethnic games!

Evey urchin now speaks for Igbos and some moles who think its an opportunity to lash out on their perceived igbo enemies will jump out to talk. Ekwerenmadu is going through his ordeals if he is innocent let him be saved if he is guilty let the law take its full course. Justice!

Ohanaeze should desist thus cheap blackmail. This was how these daredevil opportunists & unscrupulous creatures deceived us for years & enriched themselves & families with public funds & resources. The likes of Ekweremadu don't represent the Igbos. Imagine what one person stole!

Ohanaeze Ndi Eri ri Eri, I think you guys are fulani ? are you people an Igbos ? no I don't think so. because everything you guys are doing is in the interest of the fulani against your own people. You people have not see anything yet. Mad people everywhere.

Then what about Mr Onyema and Mr CBN are they not of Igbo origin? Assist hi to settle with his Masters, na he do am, than to be mocking the FGN.

Serve the zoo and come back in shame _MNK

Who is behind the underdevelopment in the South Eastern region of Nigeria? Are Igbo's biased against Igbo origin?

Victim mentality. They said he should rot there at first for being a Nigerian politician

Ohanaeze umu okuko. Na akoyerinu. When una decide that about and money is more important than you ppls route and origin. Ohanaeze ndi oshi. Ndi aka azu. This the beginning.

It's high time Stop taking sides over Evil or wrong doing for either Sentiment, Tribe nor Ethnicity.... They ALL played there rules in Bad Governance over times and harvest time is here.... Pls Let Karma works freely... Our God is a God of Vengeance pls

ObabiolorunK2 Make una keep quiet. Ohaneze youths, make una no fall una hand o

Same Ekweremadu that is co-not supporting Obi⁉️🚩

This is real rubbish.

Who and who be this Ohaneze youth Abi can an individual be tagged as -Us ,We,😎

Confusion dey worry Ohanaeze youth.

I knew it .

The same man that is sabotaging BIAFRA and Nnamdi kalu for one Nigeria The same Nigeria is defending against IPOB and BIAFRA youths Served the zoo and come back in shame it is a Divine declaration of words by MNK.

Nonsense

dadalucky4 But he was dancing with just a while ago?

It's now clear in u people eyes 👀

Nigerians confirmugodu Peter Obi to see he's well equipped&qualified to be next President. Any Eyes that sees Eagles should praise them, you don't often see Eagles. You don't use mirrors to admire a look at your wrist bracelets. Vote for Peter Obi let's Rearrange this country

Onye guru nwanne ya abughi odogwu,karma caught up with him,don't put any tribe here,when he was selling off his tribesmen to them nko?

WTF 🤦🏾‍♂️

Did he illegally acquired those properties for igbos as a nation⁉️. Rubbish!!!! Can he tell us how he made all the money at his disposal if not the common wealth of igbos and Enugu West senatorial zone. More Evil will befall him and his likes who think they are untouchable 🙏

They've suddenly lost memory of how he was physically and mentally harassed by them

Abeg ekweremmadu abughi onye igbo

When elders talk like this, you now wonder why majority of the youths have lost their minds. Shey it is FG that arranged the boy who's kidney should have been removed abi? Always feeling like the victim.

This same f00l was against his fellow Igbo man campaigning for presidency.

The only Igbo person that Ndi Igbo know IS Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the leader of IPOB AGITATION for BIAFRA Independence. Ike Ekweremadum is a typical opposite of what leadership should be. The people are not blind to the truth that's why Ekweremadum will never get sympathy like MNk

Rubbish! Garbage!

Is good to him... the evil game they used you to played with your people you will get

If this Crazy government don't call Igbos for one day I wonder what will happen

This Youth Group doesn't speak for ndi Igbo. Conscience-less corrupt politicians are wicked and deserve any prosecution coming their way. I'm happy that generality of ndi Igbo were the ones dragging Ekweremadu when this case began. Just imagine the properties owned by one man!

Fulani minority rule over this territory natives has come to an end in which the six geopolitical zones are sovereign states. The Sword decides.

Thieves like Ekweremadu among this territory natives which fought for Fulani minority rule over this territory natives must go down with defeated Fulani minority rule- either way.

Ekweremadu fought for Fulani minority rule over this territory natives and has gone down with defeated Fulani minority rule.

This is the type of spin and insinuation the Ekweremadu's case does not need...?

He is a one nigerianist, now Nigeria is happening to him and I hope he is enjoying it.

I don't understand this kind of allegation. Was d FG that asked him to take a guy to UK to donate kidney to his ailing daughter or it was FG that was behind his daughter's ailment? This is a dumb conclusion nd it's not everything that we should add ethnic colouration into abeg.

This one na lie...let him face the music

Tueh! Spit am abeg! Them catch thief, u dey cling to tribe! Why him steal?

OHANEZENDIIGBO

Is it Nigeria government who sent him to commit the offence that hold him in detention?

Is good to him...

It might be true because the Federal government could have interceded in his behalf as a seating Senator. Somebody must be pulling the strings of the case being adjourned as it is. This shows that the dude is not popular even amongst his party PDP. GOODNESS PAYS

But he isn't the only Igbo man there, plus he has always played to their narrative, if this was Enyinnaya Abaribe they are talking about I would say there is a possibility, Ekweremadu can't be attacked for his origin unless over something else.

Abeg make una just shut up. Why will we support someone whose source of wealth is questionable?

It may be true cus i don't trust this Buhari regime they can do anything. How can u go to court to seize property's of a man in his absence and u guys know very well that he is in police custody over there UK. This is pure hatred and wickedness against him and the entire region.

Who cares...

Serve zoo Nigerian and come back in shame. Another mazi nnamdi kanu prophecy

Nonsense

Whether na govt or himself behind his ordeal, let him get himself out of it.

This is how we tribalize everything in Nigeria. Why the sentiments?

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Conspiracy theory

And this same Ohanaeze Youths will claim they're not supporting Obi out of tribal sentiment. If they can be standing for a criminal because he's igbo how well do you think they'll stand for a fairly better man? Tribalism is in this countries DNA and every tribe has it.

Ohaneze youths! When Ekweremadu was cahooting with the FG to the detriment of the Igbo youths, where were the Ohanaeze Youths? Politicians all over Igboland have pretended not to see the horrors happening to young ppl in d SE & I don't hear Ohanaeze talking.

I am an Igbo man but to support this corrupt man will be MADNESS

I don't believe this. If it the government that told him to harvest human organ in order to treat his daughter? Let him face his ordeal and stop bringing tribalism into this matter

That's a big lie. It's karma

If he knew he is Igbo and from the hinted tribe. What did he not keep his hands clean. Be like PeterObi

I hope this teaches other Igbo politicians that the fulani will never come to your rescue after betraying your own people. Even with all his evil deeds, the fulani stood behind Abba Kyari. I hope PeterObi HopeUzodinma DaveUmahiDMG CCSoludo and others learn from this

I said it but nobody believed me

After reading this, I understand why Nigeria is backwards. People keep using region to talk persecution even when they know the person could be guilty? If his trial was in nigeria, I would understand the sentiment but this? This is embarrassing

He is corrupt let him face the wrath of the law. if shun the ethnic sentiments we can win the war over corruption.

If they could help us with our own politicians from Delta state. We want that bias.

When you decides to work against your brother, when you comes openly to be your brother failure and bring failure to him; the enemies will bring that failure to you. Touch not my annionted (Peter Obi)- This is Ekweremadus reward.

It was the Federal Govt that also attacked him during the New Yam festival at Germany last year or so.

So Yeye still de Smell Una Mumu Neva do?

The victim card played again because he his Igbo, igbos will commit atrocities abroad and will be quick to blame buhari,or Abike Dabiri , leaving out the Igbo foreign affair minister ,what a tribe.

I support the Nigerian govt on this one.

Shey na government send am to carry person go harvest him kidney .werey people claiming marginalization

Rubbish. I'm Igbo and enough of all this crying wolf. Nobody is responsible for what is happening to Ekweremadu but Ekweremadu himself. I'm not a supporter of this Federal Government but to accuse them of being behind Ekweremadu's prosecution is UK is totally ridiculous.

Who be all this one

Serve the zoo and come back with shame. MNK

Please stop all the tribal nonsense! This country will never be good because we see everything thur this tribal lens. A thief is a thief regardless what part of Nigeria the idiot is from. Selective prosecution yes I agree against the Igbo man but we shouldn’t accept criminality

Ahhhhh dem don turn am into anoda thing o

You people should drag Ohaneze in Ekwerre madu's mess carry ur cross

Saboteurs ends up like this, yours is not a surprise, die in pains, atupia

Serve the zoo and come back in shame

Narcissists will always blame everyone else but themselves for their woes.

I totally agree especially the court case /efcc trying to seize his house

Ohanaeze has lost it. He who plays with an ant infested firewood shld be ready for the consequences. Stop blaming your village people for what you brought upon yourself.

Are they surprised?

Ridiculous!

Bia onye kwuru that thing?who said that thing?

He committed a crime.. let him face it

Which people be that ohanaeze youth who constituted them? How where they selected? When? And how? And on whose authority is like is time to organise DIASPORA OHANAEZE YOUTHS.

Oh please!

I feel sorry for your daughter! She doesn’t have to go through this pain but just feel what other people faces daily basis in Nigeria whereby there’s no good hospital even from your constituency your can’t even build hospital! The cry of poor Nigerians caught you up!

This man must be a joke! He thinking is Nigeria where corruption have eaten deep down! Whereby you can bribe the justice system and get freed with any crime! This isn’t ethnicity or tribal war igbo or Hausa, Yoruba! The law just caught up with you I hope you rot in jail!

Let him suffer he’s part of the rot destroying Nigeria

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We’ve never a Igbo hating president like Buhari.

What kind of senselessss talk is this?

Serve the zoo and come back in shame

Has he ever supported igbo's course?

So naa Nigerian govt asked the Igbo man to harvest human organ in UK abi? ,......one day Igbos will say naa Buhari caused shortest of rainfall in Igbo land

Lmao 🤣😂🤡

Mumu you really need to get sense with is your age you still dey reason rubbish nd childish 🤺

Ndi Ohaneze should shut up on this one. Thanks

Now Ohanaeze is sounding like a baby drowning in a sea; serve the zoo Fulani Nigeria against your NDI IGBO and come back in shame, Ohanaeze Fulani treatment go still reach all of una. Biafra is your only saving grace. WE MOVE!!!

The Nigerian problem.

Allow him to face the problem.

Mad people everywhere! 🤣

Na big lie

Can we stop this nonsense? Must everything be political or tribalistic to y’all? This is purely the reward of one of Nigeria’s bad leaders who karma came for in a very good way. If his crime was in Nig we all know would hv escaped justice irrespective of tribe or party

They should be behind his ordeal because he promised the zoo government he will destroy IPOB but failed.

Stop all this statement, that because he ibo. What did he do for ibo's

Can this be true?

Was he not dinning and winning with them? Even against his own people? Buhari's Nigerian government is a dog eat dog government

Yes we know that, and it's true and that's called witch-hunt

😂try

Ohanaeze are not speaking for the Igbo tribes

May be because he outshined them in 2015 to retain his Deputy Senate President position against all odds.

Hmm 😂😂 Black man sense really far from modernization o

Na lie... He is just a gready politician.

Lame talk. What has Ekweremadu done for you. All he has done over the years is aquire properties with I'll gotten money, over 40 of them to say the least. Wise up

But he is thief sha. Like so many others, even he is selectively been exposed

True true at this rate e remain small make I condemn all Igbos, why are you guys always blaming someone for the things you've caused yourself.

Foolish ohanaeze. Enjoy your Nigeria.

Which bias. Which Nigeria 🇳🇬 government. It’s called nemesis do you no how many people suffering because he dint deliver the dividends of democracy in his senatorial constituency. All of them will pay at their own time

Just as they're against Ramon Abbass (Huspuppi) because he is Yorùbá

Whether Nigerian govt is bias against him or whatever the case maybe. I am happy he is enjoying himself in UK. He will learn 1 or 2 things during this period. His family will also learn. Politicians alike will also learn (if they want to) We must learn a lesson.

This one na lie big lie.

Nonsense. Which Ohaneze Youths?

E be like something is wrong with Ohanaeze youths, Ekweremadu should be jailed over there and never return, co-signing this for every Igbo person home and abroad, we don't support evil because it comes from our own kin, we're IGBO'S

Na dem, na dem. So infantile and jejune in their reasoning.

Ohanaeze playing victim as always. Before now, you lot were tagging his Ekweremadus's ordeal as repercussions for his utterances against Obi. Now, it's Nigerian Government. When will you clowns ever grow up to take responsibility?

A senseless assertion

What rubbish igbo origin. Did he care for the course of the igbo child The FG should please stay out of family affairs.

I am an Igbo man. He is a thief jail him. We Igbos we don’t support bad market even if you’re our brother by tribe. We will always stand for justice.

3. Things must change or we will continue to run around in circles without developmental trajectory, as we have been doing for decades. White elephant projects overinflated litter the country without corresponding benefits to our people,with billions of dollars down the drain.

Igbos don't take shit, Igbos wey don first beat m for the new yam festival in Germany. I reapeat Igbos don't take shit except sabotuars

If that is their stock in trade, so be it. Nigeria will not succumb to any blackmail. What is not good, is not good.

Serve the zoo and come back in Shame

Government send him to buy body part abi... Abeg if u do good it I'll follow u... U are senator for 25 year only you build house everywhere like 🐦 some mumu I'll still support him

They’ve served him breakfast 😆

Saharareporters are very good in lies and propagating non existence comment you can find anywhere. When they are ideal they organize fake story.

What nonsense accusation,it’s one Nigeria stuff

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If to say he use that stolen funds he used to acquire properties in UAE and build a standard hospital in his constituency in Enugu, he will not be in jail now.

Just imagine. Is it Nigerian government that sent him to harvest organs? No wonder MNK used to call ohaneze, ohaneze ndi'ara

Before now, the same Igbo people cum Obidense said it was as a result of what he said against Obi, thats was why he was caught up in a mess in UK, now the same Igbo want to rope in Federal government into his ordeal. Sense is far from you people.

Ohaneze youth should shut up.

Playing victim card again 😭😭

I am Igbo too. And I say, please strip this man of all he's stolen. Even if the repatriation of Ekwensu's stolen wealth doesn't benefit poor Enugu folks, let it benefit some other poor folks elsewhere. And may he rot in jail.

Useless Ohanaeze, it's written in the Bible there's no peace for the wicked... He should carry his cross only don't involve FG into his mess..

He is paying back for dessenting Peter Obi

Ekweremmadu is very corrupt,obi was a governor for 8yrs & he had the opportunity to enrich himself but he didn't & that's why he is still walking freely,if he has skeleton on his cupboard,fed govt would ve nailed him since,so ekweremadu should face the consequences of his action

So it was ok for him to rob someone’s kidney? Tell me I am wrong…

Who cares?

Shameless, corrupt, unrepentant irritants.

We know right! But there's God... May God be with him.

🤡🤡🤡

This Sahara should are so so lied

We Igbos do not care about thieving politicians from Igbo speaking areas, please federal government make sure he doesn’t make it out of that place any time soon. In fact sentence him to life in prison.

He violated the law and this is his fault, gave the enemy the weapon of his assaults. Life!

Is this mumu a true Igbo man.

Rubbish talk

Na lie

When he leaves prison he should start supporting Biafra

Ethnicity will not kill us

Nonsense

Am igbo,ike ekweremmadu is hearthless, what we all need is to do d same to other evil political looters

Was he aware of that before fighting his own Obi? Shame!!!

Lolz😂 Another mumu statement on the abbatior of truth

It's called One Nigeria. Tell him to be a man and enjoy.

Igbos are the 6th citizens of Nigeria and what's new about that? Even ojukwu smells 🌶.

We should stop this ethnic sentiment is not helping us as a people going forward.

That is not true. Please stop this kind of mentality.

Sowore kini meaning gbogbo nonsense yi na

Nigerian can be annoying when it comes religion ethnicity.... it's that bad corrupt public officers are defended just because share same religion and ethnicity with them. These corrupt public officers have been enjoying the fact that Nigerians are highly sentimental

As much as I sympathize wt Enweremadu,he deserves wat he's getting if he stole public money. Nobody,not Igbo he didn't share his loot wit igbos nothing to do with igbos just a criminal like Chimaroke,all of them BAT,AA,WIKE etc n all those mismanaging our money shld rot in jail

Please we need to stand for our own now no matter what.

We above biased divert tongues ideas and confused desires, my challenge to men is clear and must be maintained, you were in Germany which is one among European countries, you can correct Africa men that I can toulorate but can't be played. My tagged coded mobility red/Tovan 1st.
