Tussle at Ohaneze Ndigbo elections as group threaten to arrest contenders

The group also threatened to arrest those contesting elections into chapters of the organization at various levels.

The President-General of the Ohaneze General Assembly, Basil Onyeacholam made the threat in Akwa the Anambra state capital.

Onyeacholam said any attempt to conduct election for the leadership of Ohanaeze was illegal and claimed that his organization was the authentic representative of the Igbo.

He added that law enforcement agencies had been informed to act accordingly.

But reacting to the threat, the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Anambra, Chief Okeke Ogene, described the threat as an empty one.
