Trouble brews again, as Northern group threatens to eject Yorubas from region in response to Igboho’s threat

The Northern Consensus Movement has issued a warning to Yoruba agitator, Sunday Igboho, on Friday.

The group, during a press conference by its Chairman, Awwal Abdullahi, warned that if Igboho continues to threaten northerners, they will also chase away Yorubas in the north.

According to the group, it will also cut off supplies to the Southern part of the country, while calling on President Bola Tinubu to compensate its members.

The group said the continuous harassment and intimidation of its members by Igboho was unacceptable.

Abdullahi said, “Every Nigerian has the right to live in any part of the country and recently, Sunday Igboho who was released from prison issued a warning to Fulanis residing in Yorubaland to leave the region.

“We, the Northern Consensus Movement, will stop that move and if he refuses to listen, we will have no other option than to ask the Yorubas residing in Northern Nigeria to also go back to their region.”
