Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has issued a strong warning to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over its call that the Middle Belt should join in shutting down Nigeria.

AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima said;

“We know the southeast is IPOB’s home but exporting their activities to the North will be faced with massive resistance from all lovers of peace in the North.”

“We call on northern governors to step up action in order to ensure this outlawed terror gang called IPOB does not infiltrate the region.”

“We also expect the governors to ensure that any northerner who shuts down his shop in solidarity with IPOB, that shop should be sealed forever.”

“And for the avoidance of doubt, we will not fold our arms and watch the North get further destabilized by a violent strategy, whether in Kogi, Benue, Plateau, Niger or any state in Northern Nigeria because our hands are already full with challenges of insecurity and we are praying fervently day and night to find lasting peace”.
