The Ohanaeze Ndigbo general assembly has threatened to arrest Prof. George Obiozor, a frontline presidential contender in the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation.
Others being threatened with arrest are those contesting elections into chapters of the organisation at various levels.
The President-General of the Ohaneze General Assembly, Basil Onyeacholam, disclosed this to our correspondents in Awka, Anambra State, on Thursday.
Saying any attempt to conduct election for the leadership of Ohanaeze was illegal, Onyeacholam pointed out that his organisation was the authentic representative of the Igbo.
He added that law enforcement agencies had been informed to act accordingly.
As Ohanaeze leaders meet in Enugu today.
On 6th December, 2020, the Imeobi Ọhanaeze, the policy making and elite inner caucus organ of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization met at the iconic Nike Lake Resort Hotel, Enugu.
The meeting which was packed with Igbo heavyweights including Governors/Deputy Governors, Senators, Ministers, etc went well with the President General, Chief Nnia Nwodo presenting his impressive score card at his valedictory Imeobi .
Unfortunately, the atmosphere got charged when it got to the last but most important issue - the setting up of an Electoral Committee for the Ọhanaeze Election to choose Nwodo s successor, next January.
