With the recent warning by the United Kingdom to its citizens to avoid travelling to 21 states in Nigeria, which includes, part of Abia , Borno , Yobe, Adamawa , Gombe , Bauchi , Kano, Kaduna Jigawa , Katsina , Kogi , Zamfara, Niger in Sokoto and Kebbi States, riverine areas of Delta, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and Cross River States. In plight of this, The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council wonder why the Foreign and Commonwealth office of the United Kingdom could be so biased to include Abia state, while directing her citizens in Nigeria against visiting those states, for fear of possible attack.
In a statement by the group few hours ago, (today, Thursday) through Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, President General Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide, said that there is no iota of truth in parts of the report including south east zone as security threat, stressing that South East states in Nigeria are the safest haven for investment and tourism” and that there is no record of any act of terrorism in the South East.
The press release reads

The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide, contrary to malicious intent and false information of the Foreign and Commonwealth office of the United Kingdom, declared that one or two States in South East Nigeria is (or are) among the 21 States unsafe for British National to travel to, as total fallacy and inclusion of any South East State is an error that must be corrected and debunk such unfriendly report.
