June 11, 2023

The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has distanced itself from statement made by one Mazi Chima Uzor, “who claimed to be the Director of National Interest Matters in Ohanaeze Ndigbo”.

According to the group in a statement on Sunday, it has no intention to interfere with the investigation of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele by the Department of State Services (DSS) as purported by Uzor.

“In his publication, he claimed that Ohanaeze condemns Emefiele’s suspension, saying its ethnic cleansing. I want to state categorically that this is false in its entirety. I hereby state emphatically that:

“Mazi Chima Uzor is an Impersonator and unknown to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide. There is no office for National Interest Matters in Ohanaeze Ndidigbo Worldwide. Ohanaeze has no intention whatsoever to interfere with investigations by the DSS or other Security agents of the Country.

“Ohanaeze also has no intention whatsoever to interfere with the disciplinary actions by the Government on officials of the Government.
