Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District in the national assembly, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has condemned the ethnic profiling of Igbo people following the killing of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ahmed Gulak in Owerri.
He insisted that Igbos “are not killers”.
Speaking on Thursday during the centenary celebration in honour of the former Premier of Eastern Nigeria, the late Michael Okpara, in Abuja, he appealed to Nigerians to stop profiling Igbos.
“I appeal to all Nigerians to stop the ethnic profiling of the Igbo.
“They are not murderers, otherwise they won’t be in Kano or Lagos doing business.
“Indeed, we are passing through one of the ugliest moments of our history,” he said.
