The Northern Youth Consultative Initiative (NYCI) has called on the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde to identify and prosecute those involved in the crisis at Shasha Market Area, Ibadan and prosecute.
This according to them will serve as a deterence to others conceiving the same idea.
Convener of NYCI, Amb Bappare Mohammed, made the call while speaking to Journalists on Sunday saying that, “The attack on innocent Hausa men earlier on Saturday at Shasha community of Oyo State stand condemned by all men of good conscience and conviction.”
Mohammed said that: “It should be noted that on several fora, the leadership of the Northern Youth Consultative Initiative has been calling for sincere unity of Nigerians irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliation.”
He, however expressed grief saying: “calls of such manner has conspicuously been hindered from thriving, by merchants of violence that are hellbent on fanning the embers of crisis and disunity for their selfish gains.”
He added that “Attack of such magnitude will eminently cause reprisal crisis across the country, which shall bring nothing but bloodbaths across the country.
“Therefore, we urge His Excellency Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and other governors bedevilled with serious security threats to do everything possible by prosecuting culprits and sponsors of these unfortunate incidents,” he appealed.
“Finally, we implore Northern youths to remain calm and law-abiding by not taking laws into our hands. Nigeria is ours we have no any other place on earth more than our dear country.”
He then concluded by declaring that It is the constitutional rights of every Nigerian to live wherever pleases them within the country as no one has the constitutional rights to send anybody out from any state.
