The National President of the Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF), Comrade Elliott Afiyo, has revealed that there will not be protests in the 19 northern states of Nigeria over the discovery of a sinister plot associated with the planned nationwide protest against bad governamce.

According to Elliott, behind the surface of the protest, the masterminds of the event unknowing to the participants, have hatched a secret plot to destabilise Nigeria and cause economic and social unrest in the country.

Elliot made this known during a press statement made available to Daily Rendezvous.

Elliot warned that his organisation had uncovered a detailed ten-day plot by the sponsors of the protest to destabilize Nigeria by destroying government infrastructure, and worship centers and invoking a tribal war across all quarters of the country.

Elliot said, his group has withdrawn from participating in the planned protest that northern youths will hold President Bola Tinubu and the security agencies responsible if it does not take necessary measures to prevent Nigeria from descending into anarchy.

Elliot explained that the plot included the destruction of mosques and churches to set the Muslims against the Christians, the destruction of businesses of people of southern origin in the north to cause violence across all parts of the country, and a larger plot to bring in foreigners into the country to cause mayhem.

Elliot said, “It is necessary to draw the attention of all well-meaning Nigerians about the sinister motives behind this protest as planned by the promoters.

“While acknowledging the fact that protests are legal and constitutional means and ways of expressing the disaffection of the minds of the citizens towards the Government, it should also be noted that the timing, method, capacity, environment, and necessity for such protests must be considered before protests are carried out.

“In light of these indices above, we would like to clarify and reveal the dangerous signals, schedules, strategies, planned activities, and operational guidelines by the promoters of these protests.

“But after receiving intelligence reports and briefings, NYLF has decided to not only withdraw from the protests but also would make sure that the protests are not carried out at all because of the following reasons.”

Advancing the reasons why the NYLF withdrew from the protest and why the protest should not hold, he said, “One of the major reasons for the protests is to completely destabilize Nigeria especially the Northern part of the country and Abuja by massive destruction of government infrastructures including schools, hospitals, railways and others. This act in the promoter’s imagination, will ignite the Northern opposition to Tinubu’s government which will invariably lead to political unrest and violence against the NonNortherners, especially the Yorubas. By so doing, another Araba episode will be repeated.

“Foreign mercenaries would be asked to take over the protests on the second day, to destroy all the worship centers both mosques and churches. This is aimed at provoking a religious war in the North which will be promoted and aided by the other promoters from other regions.

“On the third day, the foreign mercenaries will be mobilized to take over Abuja and attack Military and Police formations and stations which will make both the military and police retreat to their formations to protect their families thereby, providing opportunities and spaces for the mercenaries to properly execute the agenda of the fourth day.”

“The fourth day would see foreign mercenaries from the North, Militants from the Niger Delta, and Gunmen (who are unwilling) from the South-East, mobilized and eliminate high profile politicians, traditional rulers, and religious leaders who are considered and regarded as highly corrupt and more powerful and influential.

“On the fifth day, all local media houses will be burnt down and identified journalists will be eliminated to ensure a total blackout of critical information.

“On the sixth day, Aso Rock (Villa) will be taken over and all Government Houses in all the states will be fully occupied by new Landlords. These actions will be fully supported by some foreign nations who will provide air power to checkmate the Nigerian military. All Military formations have been fully marked,” Elliot sounded the warning.

“On the seventh day, all economic entities including Refineries, economic zones such as Oil terminals and Bank Headquarters would be bombed to paralyze the economic power of the country.

“On the eighth day, some foreign nations will be drafted under the guise of a peace mission to occupy the country and rule it indirectly. Regional Governments will be announced and established.

“On the ninth day, a state of emergency will be declared in Kaduna, Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt, and Enugu and no-fly zones will be imposed on these cities.

“On the tenth day, religious worship and gathering will be prohibited on Fridays and Sundays,” the NYLF boss warned.

Elliot cautions participants to steer clear of the protest because of these hidden motives by the organisers of the protest.

He decried that, the “Majority of the promoters of these protests are not aware of these plans because the minority few are the collaborators with foreign Organizations and Governments to execute the international conspiracy against Nigeria.

“Consequent upon these revelations, we are strongly warning the Federal
The government and all the Security Agencies to ensure that not more than Ten (10) people are allowed to gather together in any part of the country between the 1st to 10th of August, 2024 except for religious gatherings, and even at that, there should be proper and diligent screening and checks.

“We want to state clearly that the Northern Youth will hold the Government and the Security Agencies responsible and regard them as possible collaborators to destroy our country and our future to please the West.”
