The Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has warned that southerners living in northern Nigeria should not expect protection if the killing of Northerners continues in the South.
The governor issued the warning in a statement on Thursday, saying the South has no monopoly of violence.
“If Northerners and their means of livelihood will not be protected, accommodated and be dignified anywhere they choose to stay in any part of the South, Southerners should NOT expect protection from the North as the North has more than what it takes to respond to any aggression and hatred,” the governor said.
