Falana Tells Oba Of Lagos, Apologise Now Without Delay

Human rights Lawyer, Femi Falana has asked the presiding Oba in Lagos to make no delay in apologizing to Igbos for his harsh statement towards them on Sunday when Eze Ndigbos (Igbo traditional rulers) of all the local governments in Lagos came to pay him a courtesy visit in his palace.

Mr Falana in a statement released today said the Oba’s diversionary threat is totally unacceptable as it is a mockery of the political objective of national integration.



“It is illegal as it clearly offends Section 42 of the Constitution which has prohibited discrimination on grounds of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, creed or sex,” Mr. Falana said.

He also says the Oba lacks the power to cause anyone to ‘die in the Lagoon within seven days,’ stating the threat constitutes a violation of the fundamental right of thousands of citizens to life. He however urged the Oba to apologize without delaying.
