Other inscriptions on the placards read, "Southerners are militants, kidnappers/ rituals, armed robbers, drug pushers, terrorists, sons/daughters are products of baby factory" were on display during a protest that lasted one hour.
Addressing protesters, National President and Secretary General, Barrister Aliyu M Usman, and Alfred Solomon issued a joint statement part of which called for Northerners to "rise and support agitation for peaceful dissolution of this union called Nigeria for every region to go its own way".
"We urge all artisans, students, public and private sector servants, traders business holders currently operating ,residing or intending to do so in any part of Nigeria to relocate back home within the next two weeks", the group said calling on northerners to return home.
The group further advised non Northerners residing in any part of the northern Nigeria to relocate to their various regions of origin within two weeks to make room for accommodating our northern brothers who would be returning home.
