Nigerians react to CCT Chairman describing those who mobbed him for assaulting a security guard as 'Biafran Boys'

Nigerians have reacted to a statement credited to the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) chairman, Justice Danladi Umar on what transpired between him and the security guard he assaulted at Banex Plaza in Abuja.

 In a statement released by the CCT Chairman's spokesperson Ibraheem Al-Hassan, Umar accused the security guard of being rude and threatening him over a parking space. He further alleged that he was subsequently attacked by "Biafran boys" at the plaza. 

 The statement read; “As the few policemen in the complex were apparently overwhelmed by the mobs, consisting of Biafran boys throwing matches and shape object to his car, which led to deep cut and dislocation in one of his finger, causing damage to his car, smashing his windscreen." 

The statement has generated an outrage on social media and here are some comments;

Biafran boys??

These Northners occupying the various agencies there in Abuja will be doing the worst.

Oga go harras security guard for mall, Biafrian boys in Mall take the blame.

They should just divide this country, Obodo enwerọ isi at all.
