Ekweremadu: Four Attackers Identified By German Police

By Augustine Adah

Ring leaders of the attack on erstwhile Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu have been identified but their identity will not be disclosed following the decision of the Bavaria State police in Germany to investigate the incident.

An official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja said that the Bavaria state police have analysed the attack videos and identified four of the suspected attackers. 
“I cannot reveal their identities for now because the German authorities are now co-operating with us and investigating the attack,” the official told The Cable, a Nigerian based news website.

Ekweremadu was attacked by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Nuremberg, Germany when he honoured an invitation by ‘Ndigbo Germany’.

The leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu who was helped out of detention by Ekweremadu and other Igbo leaders in his reaction believed  that Ekweremadu’s case was a warning to all Igbo leaders in the south-east zone.

The attack has been generally condemned and the Ibo community in Germany has since apologized to Ekweremadu over the incident.
