Comment On Biafra: Professor Sagay Raises Alarm Over Threats To His Life

Prof. Itse Sagay, a constitutional lawyer and chairman of the Presidential Committee on Anti-Corruption, has raised the alarm over threats to his life.

According to Prof. Itse Sagay, Igbos are trying to intimidate President Muhammadu Buhari.

The lawyer revealed that he received insults and death threats from Igbo people for expressing his opinion on the renewed agitation for Biafra republic.

On January 7, in a chat with Daily Independent, Sagay alleged that those responsible for the agitation are doing so to intimidate President Muhammadu Buhari. He also noted that after the Igbos failed with their rigging in the last general election, they resorted to reviving the Biafra agitation as strategy to negotiate with the federal government for appointments they don’t deserve.

Sagay stressed that he was standing by his recent comments and added that he would not take the threats lightly because “they have serious security implications”.

“All I did was expressed my views on a national issue. If they have contrary views, they should come forward with it instead of using abusive words particularly threatening people’s lives. In fact, they are not only threatening me but the entire country that we shall see what happens whenever they start whatever they are planning.

“It is a very irrational process and environment in which to operate. I thought we were engaging in a debate.

“Little did I know I was dealing with desperadoes who will not tolerate any other views that are not consistent with theirs in their headlong determination to cause confusion in the country. It is very sad.

“I won’t take the threats lightly because most of the things said to me has serious security implications and I will do something about it,” he said.

Earlier this month, Sagay expressed his dismay at the level of corruption that took place during the government of Goodluck Jonathan and advised the ex-president to have a chat Buhari and confess all he knows.
