Through its spokesman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) denounced what they called a targeted slaughter of northerners in the South-East region.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Baba-Ahmed used the microblogging site Twitter on Friday morning to urge politicians who hope to win their support in the general elections of 2023 to immediately denounce the crimes.
The NEF spokesman denounced the claimed attack and targeting of northerners in the area and warned that, if left unattended, the situation will damage community relations throughout the nation.

He emphasized the need to avoid discriminating against Northerners.
Baba-Ahmed tweeted: “Targeting and killing of Northerners, particularly in the South-East, should be condemned, and must stop.
“It is very dangerous because it could worsen community relations in other parts of the country.
“We need to hear clear and emphatic condemnations from those who want our votes.”
