The Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria has declared its intention to halt the supply of food from the North to the southern region of the country.

This threat comes in response to a recent ultimatum by Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, demanding that the Fulani community vacate Yorubaland within ten days.

The group, in a press conference led by its President, Awwal Aliyu, expressed their determination to obstruct this move, and if the threat persists, they will insist on Yorubas in the northern part of the country evacuating their region.

They are demanding compensation for the victims of the ENDSARS killings, the Shasha-Akinyele market violence, and the IPOB/ESN-related killings.

They have issued a four-week ultimatum for these demands to be met and have threatened to launch a nationwide protest and cease the supply of food to the southern region if their demands are not addressed.

The group has called upon the Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Afenifere, to intervene and restrain Sunday Igboho.

In October, Igboho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen in the South-West to leave the region due to concerns about the killing of local farmers in Oyo and Ogun states.
