The Biafra Nations Youth League (BNYL) on Monday reminded the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) that the ultimatum given to Southerners to vacate the North will be expiring by tomorrow, 30th July 2019.

Following FG’s suspension of plans to establish Ruga settlements for herdsmen across the country, a coalition of groups in the North had demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari lift the suspension or it would take actions against the South after 30 days.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary of the BNYL, Comrade Kufre Obot vowed that the group “will not issue further warnings over the killings by Jihadist Fulani herdsmen in the Southeast and South south.”

The BNYL claimed that, “Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore and Fulani Nationality Movement in Nigeria, FUNAM are planning to sponsor a terrible attack in the South but the BNYL’s action would surprise them.

“Our greatest battle is Jihadists but we decided that every northerner should not invade our land to kill people for any reason whatsoever,” the statement read in part.
