Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The South-East caucus of the National Assembly has expressed dismay over the dangerous ethnic profiling of lgbos in the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests across the country.<\/p>\n

The caucus appealed to Ndigbo across the country to stay away from the protests and remain law abiding.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, leader of the Senate caucus and Rt Hon lduma lgariwey, leader of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

The statement reads in Part, \u201cThe attention of the South East Caucus of the National Assembly has been drawn to the unfortunate and dangerous ethnic profiling of Igbos in the ongoing mass protests across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the records, the Igbo nation, in obedience to the advice of their leaders- Governors, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, parliamentarians and others in the private sector- had taken a reasoned and strategic decision not to participate in the on-going nationwide protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is evident in the relative calm experienced in the five South Eastern states. We are, therefore, surprised and disappointed, that Igbos are still made scapegoats, and targeted as instigators of protests, as shown in several statements (such as the Igbo Must Go hashtag and call by a certain \u2018Lagospedia\u2019 X (Twitter) handle) and videos seen online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dangerous ethnic profiling is unwarranted, and must stop. It was such profiling that led to the millions of deaths in Nigeria from the 1950\u2019s to the unfortunate civil war in 1967 to 1970.<\/p>\n

\u201cElsewhere in Africa it led to genocide in Rwanda and the xenophobia in South Africa. Such should not be our fate again in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand that the security agencies bring to book the purveyors of these hate speeches in line with the cybercrimes act.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to appeal to Igbos across the country to stay away from the protests, and remain law abiding.\u201d<\/p>\n
