The police in Kaduna have finally launched a manhunt for the Arewa youths who signed a declaration issuing a 90-day ultimatum to the Igbos in north to leave.
It was gathered that a coalition of northern youths in what they tagged ‘Kaduna Declaration’ on the 6th of June ordered the Igbos in north to vacate and return to the south east.
However, Governor Nasir El-Rufai was not happy with this so ordered the arrest and persecution of the signatories of the quit notice on the 7th of June.
Moshood Jimoh who is the police spokesperson in Kaduna said any Nigerian was free to live in any part of the country.
He stated that “Kaduna state government has reacted promptly to the issue. We are also using this opportunity to warn anybody that wants to foment trouble to beware because we will deal decisively with such group or persons.”
Also, the national president of Ohanaeze Youth Foundation, Mr. Chukwuemeka Don Uba said the threat was an indication that Nigeria cannot continue to remain as one.
The south east governors held an emergency meeting on Wednesday, June 7 to address the issue.
Chief Nnia Nwodo who is the president-general of the Ohaneze Ndigbo made this revelation during a night of tributes in honour of the late Ohanaeze chieftain and veteran Biafra soldier, Prof. Ben Obumselu.
Nwodo said it was the intervention of Governor Nasir El-Rufai that stopped the south east governors from sending luxurious buses to bring back their kinsmen
