Quit Notice: Igbo Group Drags Arewa Youths To ICC
An Igbo group, the Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF), has said that it would drag the leadership of Arewa Youths to the International Criminal Court [ICC], Hague, and a Nigerian court, to answer questions bothering on its quit notice to the Igbo living in the North.
In a statement issued to newsmen, in Abakaliki, and signed by its President, Prof. Uzodinma Nwala, Secretary, Prof. Nath Aniekwu and Chairman, Media and Publicity Bureau, Chief Abia Onyike, the Igbo leaders warned that any attack on any Igbo man linked to the threat by Arewa groups would be interpreted by the Igbo as an announcement for the final dissolution of the federation.
Also to be included in the proposed suit were their sponsors including undisclosed top government officials in the northern sharia states.
The group in the statement said the legal action was aimed at mounting judicial pressure to restrain Arewa youths, their sponsors and supporters including officials of the Northern governments, from executing their threat of quit notice and takeover of properties owned by Ndigbo in the Arewa territories planned for October 1 this year.
“ADF is assuring all that never again will any Igbo or Biafran property be declared abandoned or confiscated by any authority or group of persons in any part of the country. ADF and Ndigbo will fight that in accordance with international laws and conventions.
“ADF insists that the only thing that will convince Ndigbo and Biafrans that the federal government is genuinely interested in protecting our lives and property in the North is the immediate enactment of a law by the National Assembly prohibiting confiscation or declaration as abandoned, properties of Ndigbo or any Nigerian for that matter in any part of the federation before 1st October 2017″.

What is the meaning of Nigerian Nigeria is an Amalgam of the words: ‘Niger Area’. The name was coined by Flora Lugard, wife of Lord Fredrick Lugard the Governor General of both the Northern and Southern Protectorates . The predominantly Muslim North and Christian South were formed into one country for adminsitrative ease. Although the benefits of the decision which seemed wise at the time are still being debated, it nonetheless brought into existence the largest Black African nation on earth…. Hope you can see the definition of Nigerian . Please igbo tell me the meaning of BIAFRA

Arewa are so primitive. While others are applying intellectual fight, they are busy threatening people’s life. They must be floored by those that file against them in icc
