The secretary of the Northern Elders Forum, Dr Hakeem Baba Ahmed, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to do something about the Ibadan carnage now, as “they’re setting the country on fire under you.” He tweeted.
In a Twitter post on Saturday evening, Baba-Ahmed said Nigerians living in any part of the country must be protected.
He said there will not be any attack on southerners living in the north as a response to the alleged attack on northerners in the south.
“Attacking innocent southerners living in the north will not be the right response to attacks on northerners in the south,” Baba-Ahmed said.
This is coming after dozens of Hausa traders were killed and their market was razed on Saturday, heightening the tensions between Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups in the country.
