The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has dragged a Mass communications lecturer of the Bayero University Kano, Malam Bala Mohammed to President Muhammadu Buhari over statement that the Igbo are behind the escalation of drug abuse in the North.

ABACITYBLOG reports that a University Don, Malam Bala Mohammed, had recently accused the Igbo people as responsible for drug abuse prevalent among youths in the Northern part of Nigeria.

Mohammed quoted Results from the latest NOI Poll, according to him, showed that 9 in 10 Nigerians believe the highest abusers of drugs and substance are teenagers and young adults aged between 15 and 29 years old.

Thereby, he alleged that available statistics point to at these “unscrupulous Igbo drug dealers as the brain behind the scourge”.

Reacting over the statement, HURIWA, a Human Rights Organisation, dragged Mohammed to the Education minister Malam Adamu Adamu, the National University Commission, NUC, and the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, demanding his suspension and prosecution for spreading hate message against Igbo ethnicity.
