Obi Of Onitsha Speaks Out: Clearing The Air On Recent Allegations

Obi of Onitsha Denies Issuing Warning to Northern Youths Amid Rising Tensions

Listen up, everyone. The Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe, has come out swinging to deny claims that he issued a warning to Northern youths following the brutal killings of Northerners in Edo State. This situation has been heating up, and the Obi wants to set the record straight.

In a clear and firm voice, the monarch emphasized that he has not made any statements related to the tragic deaths of the 16 hunters in the Uromi area of Edo State. This is a sensitive issue, and the Obi is taking a strong stance to ensure the truth is out there.

Setting the Record Straight: No Warning Issued

Now, let’s dive into what’s really going on. Reports had surfaced suggesting that the Obi had warned Northern youths against retaliatory attacks on Igbos in response to the killings. But guess what? That’s just not true. Speaking through a statement delivered by his Chief of Staff, Osita Anionwu, Achebe labeled these claims as both "inaccurate" and "inflammatory." He’s not playing games here; he’s calling out false narratives that could harm the peace we all seek.
