The group warned that Nigeria was gradually sliding into civil war, if government refused to act.
They insisted that as Chief Security officer of Imo State, Governor Hope Uzodinma must bring the killers of Ahmed Ali Gulak to book.
According to the statement opined: “Let us state categorically that northern youths will do everything within their powers to force the government of Imo State to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
“The Imo State Governor and other South East Governors should take note that we shall not accept the continued killing of Northerners and Northern elites in their region as we shall take revenge henceforth.”
It gave the “Governor of Imo two weeks to carry out the investigation or they shall declare him persona non grata across the entire Northern soil.”
