Reports that Nnaemeka Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, warned northern youths after Hausa hunters were killed in Edo State have been denied.
According to Achebe, he never made a remark on the 16 hunters who perished in Edo State’s Uromi region.

He was responding to rumors that he had warned young people in the north not to harm Igbos in retaliation for the 16 hunters’ deaths.

Osita Anionwu, his chief of staff, signed the statement, which Achebe said was “inflammatory” and “inaccurate.”

The statement reads: “The Palace of the Obi of Onitsha wishes to inform the general public that His Majesty, Nnaemeka Achebe (Agbogidi), has made no statement regarding the recent killing of northerners in Edo state.

“Furthermore, he has issued no warnings to anyone on the matter. This is another instance in a growing pattern of attributing fake statements to His Majesty, with the aim of stirring disaffection.

“The statement attributed to him is not only inaccurate but also inflammatory. We urge the public to disregard the fabricated statement and instead focus on promoting unity and understanding.”

According to the statement, Achebe is dedicated to promoting unity and peace among all Nigerians.
