Quit notice: DSS debunks report Igbos were killed on their way from North

The Department of State Services, DSS, has dismissed reports saying some Igbos fleeing North due to the quit notice by Arewa youths were massacred on their way to the Eastern part of the country.

Recall that there were reports recently that Hausas killed some Igbos travelling back to their region in Kaduna.

The Kaduna State Government has, however, dismissed the report.

In a statement issued by its Spokesperson, Tony Opuiyo, the secret police said the video allegedly showing the massacre of Igbos was a scene of an “accident which occurred along the Owo-Akure Road, Ondo State, on March 3, 2016.

The statement reads, “Those involved in these misleading and despicable acts have since been warned to desist from anything capable of causing disaffection and stoking nationwide tensions.”

Similarly, the DSS condemned the quit notice issued to Igbos residing in the North.

The secret police had said, “Such relocation order is not only illegal, but it is strongly viewed to be against the spirit of our Constitution which allows for freedoms of movement and association among others.”
