Nigerian National Assembly calls for government probing into Gaddafi’s statement
The Nigerian National Assembly on Thursday the 18th March ordered the country’s government to investigate Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s statement over recent violence in northern Nigeria.
Gaddafi suggested on Tuesday that Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, can resolve its perennial violence only by separating into Christians and Muslims nations, a report by state- run Jana news agency said.
The Libyan leader described the recent Jos violence as a “deep conflict of religious nature”. He also said the sectarian violence that hit Nigeria was the product of the federal state of Nigeria that was made and imposed by the British in spite of the people’s resistance to it.
The National Assembly urged the Nigerian government to liaise with the United Nations to compel Gaddafi to stop calling for the division of Nigeria.
In a move that could lead to a major diplomatic row, Nigeria has recalled its ambassador to Libya, Alhaji M. K. Ibrahim.
