Published

on





Foremost Ijaw youth organization, the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC has called on the Federal Government to direct the nation’s security agencies to immediately arrest and prosecute some northern youths believed to be behind the hate songs against Igbo people resident in the northern part of the country.

In a statement signed by the factional President of the IYC, Mr. Eric Omare, on Wednesday, the group said the current situation in the country might degenerate if the Federal Government fails to do the needful by tackling the situation headlong.

It noted that southerners would not sit and allow their people to be gruesomely killed without commiserate reprisal attack on northerners in the south and expressed fears that situation in the north might worsen and possibly lead to the killing of southerners living in the north.

Omare, while calling on southerners living in the north to be vigilant in the coming days ahead, he decried as sad the inability of government and security agencies to act on the hate songs that had gone viral on the social media.

It posited that the deliberate refusal of the government and security agencies to take action against several conducts by northern elements which threaten national security had emboldened those behind the quit notice and hate songs on Igbos.

According to it, “The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide calls on the federal government and security agencies to act fast to bring to justice and nip in the bud those propagating hate songs in the north against Igbos before it leads to the unnecessary killing of southerners living in the north.

“The news of a song calling for the killing of Igbos in the north has been reported by several newspapers; however it is sad to note that the government and security agencies have failed to act…It is very unfortunate that security agencies that would invite reputable Nigerians of southern extraction even for comments they know nothing about would turn a deaf ear to issues that threatens the survival of the country by northern elements”, Omare said.
