An Igbo group, under the aegis of Coalition of Igbo Unions of Nigeria CIUN has cautioned the Abia state governor, Alex Otti against ejecting northerners from the cattle market in the state.
They said the ultimatum issued to the Northern business owners has greatly increased the already tensed socio- political atmosphere in the country. “While we acknowledge the importance of security of lives and property of all Nigerians living in every part of the country, we strongly condemn and dissociate ourselves from the ethnic profiling being perpetrated by Mr. Alex Otti against our brothers from Northern Nigeria doing business at the Umunneochi Cattle Market.
“We have carefully observed that the ‘vacate the Cattle Market ‘ ultimatum issued by Governor Alex Otti has greatly increased the already tensed socio- political atmosphere in the Country.“The plight of northern traders in the Cattle market if not handled satisfactorily will set a dangerous precedent which will ignite violence and clashes in various parts of Nigeria against Igbos.
