The indigenous people of the South and Middle-Belt of Nigeria under the aiges of NINAS earlier announced that it would be holding a “grand” protest at the UN headquarters tomorrow.
“The Grand Finale of the NINAS Million-Man Freedom March holds on 24th September, 2021, the day President Muhammad Buhari will be addressing the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly,” the group said.
They had staged a “Million-Man Freedom March” on September 14 and 15 opposite the United Nations Headquaters in New York.
They said the protests were to show before the world, “the crimes against humanity, attacks on press freedom, free speech and other criminalities being aided by the Buhari led government of Nigeria”.
NINAS is also demanding “the conduct of a regional referendum so that the indigenous people can decide on their nationhood”.
