United States Embassy calls for an end to tension and violence in Nigeria
The United States Diplomatic Mission has called for an end to violence amid growing tension in the country.
United States Mission to Nigeria said in a tweet on Friday that it is joining well-meaning Nigerians to sue for peace, calling for an end to violence in the country.
However Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign AffairsMr Geoffrey Onyeama, says the country does not require any international help to curtail any threats posed by the Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).
Onyeama, at a news conference at the UN headquarters in New York said the threat from the self-agitation group would be handled.
“IPOB is as of now an internal threat and Nigeria does not need international assistance to resolve it,” the minister said.
