Mr. Ibrahim Idris, Inspector-General of Police has ordered the Commissioner of Police (CP) in Kaduna State to investigate and arrest members of the Coalition of Northern Youths who signed and issued the ultimatum to Ndigbo living in the North to vacate the region in three months or face physical attacks.

The Police IG warned that no individual or group of persons had the right to ask any individual to leave his or her place of residence in any part of the country.

He ordered other state commissioners of police in the North and Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in the various zonal commands to do same.

He said: “As Commissioners of Police and Assistant Inspectors-General of Police, we have the responsibility to stop this group of persons from carrying out their threats. I want us to be at alert to ensure that such persons or group were stopped at all cost from carrying out their threats.”

“No individual has the authority to stop anybody from looking for his daily bread. The Nigerian Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to live in any part of the country he or she chooses.”
