Northern Groups Push For Biafra Actualisation, Demand UN Intervention

• “We finally wish to renew our request for the global community’s intervention

The Coalition of 15 Northern Groups, CNG, has implored the international communities to prevail on Nigerian government and the United Nations in facilitating and expediting the realisation of self-determination and independence for Biafra, as being agitated by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The groups’ resolution is coming on the heels of deepening security crisis in the country, especially the sustained attacks on security agencies and government facilities in the South East.

In a statement issued on Monday by its spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman the CNG, said IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was behind the crisis and unrest bedeviling the region.

He averred that Kanu was using the Eastern Security Network ESN to forment trouble in the region.

Ekohotblog reports that the South Eastern region had in recent time witnessed an inexorable rise in security crisis and violent attacks, ranging from herdsmen and farmers clashes to IPOB and the Nigerian military.

Citing the activities of Boko Haram insurgents and the increasing rate of kidnapping by bandits in the North, the group also said the region “has never experienced this level of exposure to criminals who attack, kill, maim, rape, kidnap, burn villages, target educational assets and kidnap students at will while President Buhari issues threats and promises that do not affect”.

The statement reads in part: “Since Nigeria remains committed to peace and global order, yet, our friends in the international community, particularly the United Kingdom continue to give haven to the very IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, who again and again has called for war and genocide and his propaganda, campaign and directives instigating many of his followers to target and kill people and to loot their properties and violate their dignity and rights, the CNG hereby resolves to:

“Warn our friends, particularly in Europe and the entire international community/organisations to weigh the impact and consequence of these campaigns coming from their backyard.
