Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide , has warned against smuggling of almajiris to the South East.
In a statement signed by the President General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and the General Secretary, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike , the OYC appealed to the Southeast governors to flush almajiris out of the region. “They should review the circumstances surrounding the decisions of Northern Governors on the ban of Almajiris from anywhere they are found back to their states of origin, and take decision to ensure that all Almajiris begging on the streets of the Southeast are sent back. This patriotic gesture will afford the Southeast governors the opportunities to help their northern counterparts to receive their wards and empower them, as there’s no better time for it than now.
“The OYC will not tolerate any kind of almajiris system in the South East. This obnoxious policy seen in some Hausa quarters in Igboland will no longer be entertained. We will accommodate any Nigerian especially from the North and West doing genuine businesses in the South East, but alternatively we are giving the almajiris an ultimatum and grace of 14 days to evacuate from Igboland or face the hostilities that will follow suit.
