A group under the auspices of Nineteen Northern Consensus Movement for Peace, Unity, Empowerment and Development Initiative, has called on the attention of President Bola Tinubu on the killings, destruction of businesses and properties of Northerners residing in the Southern parts of the country while executing their legitimate and constitutionally approved businesses/occupation.
Addressing a press briefing in Kaduna, National President of the NSNCM, Awwal Abdullahi Aliyu, lamented that the acts have become barbaric, animalistic, and inhumane.
Speaking on the latest gruesome act which happened at the Lobbanta Garke Cattle Market 7 in Abia State where five boys were beheaded, Awwal said in this era and age, the heinous act shouldn’t have happened, let alone be condoned.
Awwal also lamented that the acts have escalated in the past three to four years and are getting out of control. Speaking further, the National President of the group said in Imo State, an unnecessary attack on Northerners continued in the Eastern part of the country.
Awwal therefore called on President Tinubu to initiate and ensure an unbiased investigation of the killings and those in the past with a view of unmasking the killers and bringing them to justice while ensuring that necessary steps are taken to avert future occurrence.
