Northern youth groups writes UN, wants IPOB and its leader Nnamdi Kanu, declared terrorists

A coalition of Northern Youth Groups have written a petition to the United Nations over the activities of the Indigenious People of Biafra IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in the country. The group is asking the UN to declare Kanu and IPOB as terrorists.
At a press conference in Abuja, the coalition’s spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, said IPOB and its leaders are determined to cause problems in their quest to secede from Nigeria. The youths say the UN should invoke the relevant statues to pronounce Kanu and his group a terrorist outfit.
“As  law-abiding citizens, we wrote officially to the United Nations and urged for its urgent intervention in the following two key areas: That the UN invokes the relevant statutes to which Nigeria is a signatory to pronounce Kanu and IPOB as terror outfits, proscribe their activities and initiate criminal actions against them. Since it is becoming all the more obvious - by the way IPOB and Kanu enjoy massive support from the Igbo back home - that the issue of the drive for Biafra nation is still a boiling issue, we urged the UN to intervene by initiating processes for a peaceful referendum as the only option to finally settle the Biafran issue,” reasoned the Northern coalition"the group said
