A group, Ndigbo Unity Forum, has called the German Government to fish out all those responsible for the attack on former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, in Nuremberg, Germany, on Saturday by members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra.

President of NUF, Mr Augustine Chukuwudum, on Sunday said that the attack on the distinguished lawmaker was unacceptable.

He said, “NUF condemns the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Germany by members of IPOB.

“What has he done wrong that they wanted to kill him.

“Ekweremadu is one of the highly placed Igbo politician who has been speaking for the betterment of Ndigbo in the National Assembly and at a national level for the past 12 years.[story_link align="left"]72794[/story_link]

“The lawmaker remains the only Igbo politician who has done well for Ndigbo and that is why we are asking the question, what has he done wrong that IPOB wants to kill him.

"They must be brought to book and be punished according to the law.

“We also call on the Nigerian Government to provide adequate security for him even while he is in the country’’.
