S/East group warns Yoruba youths against xenophobic tendency

The recent threat by some Yoruba youths to deal decisively with  Igbo residents in Lagos for allegedly insulting their Oba and desecrating their culture and traditional values, has taken another dimension as Chief Kenneth Nwaguma, has asked Yoruba leaders to warn their subjects to henceforth stop making further provocative attacks on the Igbo in any part of Yoruba land including Lagos.

Nwaguma who is the National Coordinator of South East, South-South Political Forum, said this in Owerri on Monday while addressing journalists at Rock View Hotel along with some leaders of the group.

The national coordinator of the socio-political group aimed at uniting the two geo-political regions, informed that when they read in the media about the threat on Igbo residents in Lagos that they used their networks to find out the genuineness of the Yoruba youths that were behind the hate speech against the Igbo.
