THE Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), on Thursday, filed an interlocutory injunction at the Federal High Court, Abuja, seeking the stoppage of the ongoing constitutional amendment for a framework for the South East to secede from Nigeria.
Joined in the suit as defendants are the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; Senate President, Ahmed Lawan; Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; with members of CNG, Nastura Ashir Shariff, Balarabe Rufa’i, Abdul-aziz Sulaiman and Aminu Adam, as plaintiffs.
The group’s spokesman, Abdul-Aziz Suleiman, said: “We wrote letters to northern emirs, National Assembly and to the court asking the court to determine the termination of Biafra or uphold it.”
CNG is also seeking an order restraining the federal lawmakers from reviewing the constitution, pending the determination of the court.
