“5. NORTHERN EMANCIPATION NETWORK ON THE IGBO PERSISTENCE FOR SECESSION does not exist in CAC records.”

The group queried the “DSS and other security agencies to tell Nigerians why these illegal organizations should threaten the peace of the nation and nothing has happened to those fronting for them?

“Is this a case of sacred cows? But even at that without conceding these illegal organizations are not our cows they are illegal and should be treated like stray cows infested with foot and mouth disease. They should be quarantined in prison after due judicial process must have taken its full course.

“The icing on our investigations is that AREWA CONSULTATIVE FORUM is not registered in CAC!”
