The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has warned that Nigeria will burn if Northerners decide to retaliate attacks on them in other regions.
ACF’s spokesman, Emmanuel Yawe issued the warning while cautioning Northern youths against retaliation in the face of all forms of provocations.
In a statement Sunday, the ACF spokesman recalled how the 1960’s retaliatory killings set the country in flames.
He said: “You see the thing about the north is that people will be provoking the north and the north will just keep quiet, but once the north retaliates, the whole country will go in flames.
“So we will continue to advise northern youths not to take the law into their hands, they should remain calm and not set the country ablaze.”
The Arewa warning comes days after some Northern groups had declared Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, wanted for alleged destruction and killings of Northerners in the Southeast.
