President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday warned that any threat to Nigeria’s peace woud not be tolerated.
“We must never again allow any group to hold the nation to ransom under whatever guise,” the President said in his Christmas message.
There has been an upsurge in the activities of separatist pro-Biafra groups, especially the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), which has coordinated protests in Southeast state capitals and other places, calling for Biafra State and the release of detained underground Biafra Radio director Nnamdi Kanu.
Islamic Shiites and soldiers clashed in Zaria where they blocked a road on which Chief of Army Staff Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai was travelling. Many sect members were killed and their leader Sheikh El-Zakzaky detained.
Besides, the Boko Haram insurgency is still being tackled.
