Dr. Joe Abah, a lawyer and former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Sector Reform, has responded to the claim that the Igbo people are Jews who migrated from Israel and settled in southeastern Nigeria.
In a post shared on his X handle, Abah said he is not a jew and that his parents were created by God in Ebonyi state where they hail from.
“I am not a Jew. I am Igbo. We didn’t migrate from Israel or anywhere else.
“My people were created by God in Uburu in the present Ebonyi State. My ancestral home has been there from the beginning of time.
“Some still go there to offer sacrifices and swear oaths. Igbo! No apologies.”
