Report reaching Metronetworknews has it that, members of a Coalition of Northern groups have approached a Federal High Court in Abuja seeking the exit of the South-East from Nigeria.
The group appealed to the court to compel federal lawmakers to act on the matter before the conclusion of the ongoing constitutional amendment.
Metronetworknews learned that the members namely Aminu Adam, Sulaiman Abdulaziz, and Nastura Ashir Shariff, explained that the move was necessary to avoid further violence and destruction from the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
They also explained that if not handled quickly, another civil war could happen.
