Police Say 'Obi Of Lagos' Brouhaha Was A Ploy To Scam Innocent Nigerians

The Lagos State Police Command has updated the general public on the ongoing investigation regarding the activities of one Engr. Chibuike Azubike, who was recently arrested for acclaiming himself as the “Obi of Lagos”.



In an update on Thursday night, the command in a statement by its Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Babaseyi B. Oluseyi said investigation revealed that the suspect is not a qualified engineer but merely a supplier of construction materials to construction companies.
According to the statement, Azubike made the confession to the police during interrogation.

The PPRO also revealed that further findings indicated that the planned unveiling of the “Obi of Lagos Palace” was fraudulently designed.
According to him, the planned event was merely a ploy to swindle unsuspecting personalities and other Nigerians of their hard-earned money.

The investigation further established that the principal suspect “acted alone, without the backing or recognition of any legitimate chieftaincy authority”.

“Members of the public are therefore enjoined to disregard his claims and other misleading publications on social media aimed at causing disaffection among the peace-loving people of Lagos.
“Meanwhile, investigation is ongoing, and all suspects involved will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of the investigation”.

The suspect was arrested following intelligence suggesting planned unveiling of N1.5 billion Palace of the purported Obi Palace in the state.
The event was scheduled to take place at the Apple Hall, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos on September 13, 2025.

  2. People keep instigating conflict they are to out of shape to fight.

    This is how mouth and envy had left the NE, NW, SE, SS in taters, reeling from vices like bigotry banditry, kidnapping, intertribal and religious conflict.

    NC and SW, shine your eyes.
