The Ikwerre ethnic nationality, represented by the Iwhnurohna Progressive Union , has ignited fresh controversy over their ethnic identity, firmly rejecting any affiliation with the Igbo people of the Southeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria.
Dibia stated that the Ikwerre ethnic group would file a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and other national and international security agencies, accusing Okwukwu of making threats of extermination against the Ikwerre people. According to him, the Ikwerre people, also known by their native name, Iwhnurohna, have distinct cultural identities that separate them from the Igbo.
'When they say 'Ikwerre is Igbo,' what do they mean? They mean that all the ancestral communities in Ikwerre originated from Igboland. This is not true,' Dibia stated.
