Northern Group Declares That They Can No Longer Supply Food To Rivers State, Other Southern States, Says Their Lives, Property, Are In Great Danger


The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has threatened to stop further supply of foodstuffs to Rivers State and other Southern parts of the country, due to the attacks on Muslim Northerners by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the region,


The Chairman of the ACF in Rivers State, Usman Ibrahim, who stated this in Port Harcourt, the State capital, added that the decision was due to attacks targeted at those supplying food into the South by IPOB members, wondering how they would continue doing business under such atmosphere.


Ibrahim, who is also the Patron of the Amalgamation Union of Agriculture and Animal Supplies of Nigeria, said that hoodlums in the guise of protesters, hijacked some trucks supplying agricultural products to many States, adding that, most of their trucks were hijacked and burnt along with their goods.


“As a result of this protest, which was hijacked by hoodlums, we were attacked by IPOB members, and some of our trucks were set ablaze, and our goods burnt.

End SARS: Buhari govt not ready to respect Nigerians’ rights...

 Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has claimed there are no signs that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is ready to respect the rights of Nigerians. Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday night, Falana also criticized the federal government for setting up the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team, to replace the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Unit (SARS). “As far as I’m concerned, so far, we are only scratching the surface of the problem. And there’s been no indication that the government is prepared yet to respect the rights of the Nigerian people embodied in the constitution and other statues. “For me, it is not actually the name that matters and I think what the youths are saying is that beyond renaming, they want to see concrete steps taken to show that it is not going to be business as usual when it comes to policing in Nigeria,” Falana said.
