Efforts to secure his bail were repeatedly denied by the Lagos State High Court.<\/p>\n<p>Nwajagu was accused of threatening to invite members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to Lagos to protect Igbo lives and property in the absence of adequate security from the Federal Government.<\/p>\n<p>While the High Court acquitted him of terrorism-related charges, it convicted and sentenced him to 12 months in prison for parading himself as a certified chief in Lagos State, in violation of the Oba and Chiefs Law of Lagos State.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Yetunde Adesanya presided over the case, where Nwajagu faced nine counts, including attempting to commit terrorism, financing terrorism, participating in terrorism, and supporting a proscribed entity. On January 15, 2025, he was discharged and acquitted of all terrorism-related charges.<\/p>\n<p>One of Nwajagu\u2019s lawyers, Fabian Onwughalu confirmed the court\u2019s decision in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Onwughalu stated: \u201cEze Fred Nwajagu, Ezeigbo, Ajao Estate, Lagos State was thrown into detention by Lagos State Government for terrorism and other offences allegedly for making a video warning Olu Omo and other Yoruba Youths to cease persecution of Ndigbo and burning of Igbo dominated markets in Lagos State, or else he would be compelled to invite IPOB to secure Igbo markets and assets in Lagos State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Lagos State Government abysmally failed to prove any of the ingredients of the offence of terrorism charges against the young Ezeigbo, and the High Court coram Adesanya, discharged and acquitted him of all the counts of the terrorism related offences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was however convicted and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for the offence of parading himself as a certified Chief in Lagos State contrary to the Oba and Chiefs Law of Lagos State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving been incarcerated for almost two years, he was ordered to be released immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Onwughalu expressed mixed feelings about the case, noting that while Nwajagu\u2019s incarceration was painful, his acquittal was a significant victory for the Igbo community, especially those facing persecution in Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>He also revealed plans to appeal Nwajagu\u2019s conviction for parading himself as a chief, arguing that the prosecution failed to prove the charge.<\/p>\n<p>Onwughalu further contended that the Ezeigbo institution is not recognized under Lagos State law and should not be subject to the Oba and Chiefs Law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso the conviction offends the fundamental rights of Freedom of Association of Ndigbo in Lagos State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to be among the Counsel in the defence team who diligently offered their services pro bono.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nwajagu By Publisher Kindly share: A Lagos State High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square has discharged and acquitted Frederick&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[294,2],"tags":[1041],"class_list":["post-4258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-showbiz","category-news","tag-eze-ndigbo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Eze Ndigbo&#039;
