The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has observed with concern that in the last
three months, some criminals have stepped up harassments and attacks on
northerners moving about their legitimate businesses in southern Nigeria
particularly in the South East.

Salisu Mohammed, Deputy Director General II of NEF, in a statement, condemned these acts of provocation in totality against innocent citizens who chose to do their activities in that part of the country.

The NEF calls on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and relevant security agencies to
rise to the occasion and contain these criminals not to allow them to subvert and
undermine national cohesion and togetherness.

The NEF made the call in reaction to a widely circulated video on social media
where suspected militias of Eastern Security Network (ESN) killed hundreds of
cattle that belong to northerners. The despicable and condemnable act was
recorded and circulated across social media platforms.

Lamenting the brazing act by elements bent on testing the elasticity of the country's diversity and unity, the NEF described such act as sabotage against efforts to strengthen the bond of Nigerians. While exploring every part of the country to live in unity, peace and harmony in order to achieve the shared aspirations across the country.

In the same vein, the attention of NEF has been drawn to a statement credited
to the Forum by media - that the North regrets voting for President Bola Tinubu.
NEF wishes to distance itself from the statement as it did not emanate from the
Forum as it is the opinion of the person in his personal capacity and not that of
NEF.

Thus, the statement credited to NEF does not reflect the position of the Forum
as it has never sat and assessed performance or non-performance of Tinubu administration.

Similarly, NEF has never discussed, in any time, the politics of 2027 nor has it
deliberated on who to support or not to support on such issues.

The NEF considers it too early to be engaged in such distractions when NEF, like most Nigerians, are demanding good governance and dividends of democracy.

NEF, for now prefers to, focus on advocating for what improves the northern
region and Nigeria as a whole.

In conclusion, the NEF charges leaders to always verify and authenticate
information and treat issues within their specific contexts before making public
pronouncement.

Which faction of NEF is making this stupid statement? The way Tinubu is making mockery of them while they run around helplessly like headless chickens shows that North is truly finished.

All these won’t have been happening if it was North of 2000 and prior. Insecurity and collapse of their industry, agriculture and even politics, with the distancing of middle belt has really neutralized the once arrogant North.

So we should allow your terrorist brothers to destroy our farm.

You cut of food supply to the South East and our people go to farm to feed our self to tell you people that with out you we can eat now you send your terrorist to come to kill and destroy no way.

Where was the attack carried

Una dey craze

Stupid head slamming mohammadian terrorists

İpob propaganda video is working.
They are making statement based on propaganda video they saw online not based on fact finding.

Every Nigerian has right to live and do business freely in any part of Nigeria but these northerners\abokis should be warned to stop vandalizing power infrastructure where they are, they are the ones vandalizing armored cables in transformers that always throw communities in darkness, all the iron covers in manholes on roads are being removed by them thereby exposing people to danger. Come to holy Cross cathedral in mission road, Edo state and see how they always use poopoo to mess up the walkway where they beg for alms

IPOB is hell bent on instigating reprisal attacks in the north so as to get another great exodus of Ibos back to the SE like was the case in 1967 so as to get all of the Ibo committed to Biafra.


IPOB is pure evil .

Shut up .

You false accuser and slandering liar.

The SE has the highest rate of power vandalisation and it boils down to your criminal population and not Aboki looking for his daily bread .

The NEF categorically mentioned harassment faced by cattle herders by your criminal cult gang IPOB who have been stealing cows of Fulani herdsmen in your SE.


No twist the story now and try and paint every hard working northerner in that your cursed SE as cable vandals to justify your killing of northerners by your terrorist IPOB.

I thought Niger state is bigger than south east put together? Why is it not big enough for your cattle?

And same people like you will be crying victim in Lagos .

Is there any state in the SE that is not bigger than Lagos ?


Only you guys will be crying one Nigeria gives you the right to roam but you are not willing to allow other Nigerians settle and go about their lawful business in your parts.

Talk about stinking hypocrisy .

I only asked a question and someone is already calling me names. I didn't know that landmass is not the same with being resource rich. You folks always scream of having one state bigger than the entire southeast, aren't those big states of yours green enough for grazing?

I can understand why u are so pained, deep truths are always painful🤣

When and where was the attack carried out? The north should adopt ranching because that's the only solution to the security problem been caused by Fulani herdsmen/bandits.

COMRADES are still observing the situation
