A group identified as the Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria has threatened to stop all food supplies coming from the north to the southern region of the country.
The group also disclosed their plans to embark on protests if their demands are not met within four weeks.
The group issued the threat in response to the recent warning issued by Yoruba Nation agitator Chief Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, for the Fulani community to vacate Yorubaland.
Igboho had issued the statement while reacting to a clash between farmers, security operatives, and Fulani herdsmen in Oyo and Ogun States.
However, the northern group in their own counter-demands which were conveyed during a press conference on Thursday by their president, Awwal Aliyu, said that based on Igboho’s threat and ultimatum, they also want Yorubas living in the northern region to leave if Igboho does not drop his own demands as well.
They noted that several efforts made on their demands have proven abortive, as their pleas were ignored by the previous and current leaders across the country.
