Ijaw Development Association, IDA, has
flayed threats of attack on the Ijaw in the
South-West by the Oodua Defenders Union,
ODU, calling on the body not to break the
historic peace between the Ijaw and the
Yoruba.
IDA, in a statement in Lagos, called on ODU
to withdraw the statement which it claimed
was based on wrong assumptions of the
relationship between the two ethnic groups.
National President of
IDA, Fiyebo Eperetei, in
the statement, said: “The Ijaw in Lagos are
not at war with Yoruba. Hence, it will be
very unfortunate for anybody to plan attack
on Ijaw in Lagos.

The umbrella body of Ijaw nation, Ijaw
National Congress, INC and Ijaw Youth
Council, IYC, did not issue any threat to
attack “installations in Lagos” and other
parts of Nigeria. Therefore, the threat or
plan by the Niger Delta Avengers should not
be used as a basis to attack peaceful and
law abiding Ijaw in Lagos.
