A pressure group championing the rights of Igbos, Oke Ndigbo, has threatened to expose alleged owners of the 312 armoured cars in Nigeria if what they described as the ethnic persecution of embattled Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah does not stop.
The group in a statement signed by its national coordinator, Comrade Jude Nworah and secretary, Chief Eze Chidubem, said following their investigations which showed that there are a total of 312 armoured vehicles in Nigeria being used by public officers, majority of the users are from the Southwest and in public office.
Said the group, “Our research has shown that about 242 public officers in Nigeria use armoured cars and the South west is in possession of 38 per cent of them. We have the figure of the purchase and other details. If Stella Oduah is taken up on clear grounds of misconduct, we would not be part of her wars. But because we have deep knowledge of the ethnic bias on this calumny intended to edge her out because she is an Igbo woman, we will join in the fight as we have resolved”.

I thought this crackdown on Stella was about inflated prices of the cars and not the fact that they were armored. She deserves the security but don't let us make it tribalist now? Who was that contractor that inflated the price. Meanwhile Reps are all quiet about it now.
