There are rising cases of profiling and killing of northerners in many parts of southern Nigeria, especially the South East, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) said on Friday night.

The director of publicity and advocacy of the NEF, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, made the position of the Forum known in a statement.

“The recent murder of Nigeriens in Imo State, apparently on suspicion that they were northerners, is one incident among many recent ones that involve harassments, illegal arrests, attacks and killing of Nigerians from the North.

It would appear that groups that target northerners draw inspiration from the silence of leaders and the absence of appropriate response from security and other law enforcement agencies.

The Forum draws attention once again to the dangers of these escalating incidents and provocations.

“The impression that northerners are fair game for groups and organisations in the South is forcing northerners to exercise their rights to travel and live peacefully in any part of Nigeria, only under great danger and fear. This is intolerable and unacceptable,” he said.

The Forum demands that governments, communities and law enforcement agencies protect northerners living in the South.

Southern media are being political

Nobody wants to upset the Northern voters they are hiding the gruesome murder on a lowkey

APC and Propaganda!
You fools think is 2015 where fools voted a disaster party into power.

Many of those acts are carried out by those who are loyal to Tinubu and their sponsors.
They want northern muslims to believe that Obi emergence as the President in 2023 would mean hell for them.

My PVC is intact but I don't even know who to vote yet.
