| [Sunday Editorial] Why have Biafran lawyers not sued Arewa Youths for threatening the lives and properties of Biafrans in Northern Nigeria? |
It is almost two months since some misguided miscreants under the aegis of Arewa Youth Coalition, issued a quit notice to all Igbos residing in the northern part of Nigeria. The ultimatum issued on Tuesday, June 6, 2017, after a meeting in Kaduna State by the following groups: Arewa Citizens Action for Change, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Arewa Youth Development Foundation, Arewa Students Forum, and the Northern Emancipation Network, asked the Igbo residing in the region to “start making plans to leave.” or else they will face a situation similar to the pre-civil war pogroms visited on their kin in the 1960s.
The Coalition of Northern Youth Groups youths asked Igbos to abandon all their investments and properties in their various places of residence before the 1st of October, 2017 or face genocide and confiscation.
Ever since the initial declaration tagged Kaduna Declaration, more hate speeches and genocide threats have been rolled out by the youths and some of their anonymous accomplices have released hate songs calling for the slaughter of Igbos.

Despite these unwarranted provocations and threats against Igbos and their investments, no Biafran lawyer has thought it wise to sue the youths, whose threats are still hanging as they have refused rescind the declaration.

The threat against Igbos is unwarranted because, Igbos have not threatened the lives and properties of anyone, rather Biafrans (which Igbo is part of) have been asking for a self-determination referendum.
Since it has become obvious that the Nigerian executive government is shielding the Arewa Youths from prosecution, it is high time Biafran lawyers activated the process to approach the judiciary in order to bring the culprits to book. It is only by suing them can they be made to account for their actions in due time.
Such a grievous threat should not be allowed to be swept under the carpet. Biafrans cannot be hunted by Nigerian security for demanding their right to self-determination while those terrorising Biafrans, committing acts and conspiring to cause mayhem are allowed to roam free.

All members of Arewa Consultative Forum must be tried and jailed for committing offence punishable under sections 40 & 42 of cap c38 lfn 2004
It is the opinion of The Biafran, that enough time has been wasted already in this, and immediate action should be taken without further delay.
