A counter protest in support of the Nigerian Government has kicked off at the Nigerian Embassy in New York, US.
The protest is coming amidst protests organized by pro-secessionist groups, Yoruba Nation and Biafra agitators currently ongoing at the headquarters of the United Nations as the President, Muhammadu Buhari addressed the UN General Assembly.
The protest in support of the Buhari administration is being organized by the OneNation group.
The Yoruba Nation and Biafra agitators earlier resumed their protest at the headquarters of the United Nations before moving to the Nigerian embassy. The agitators, who held placards with various inscriptions, are chanting “UN do something, your silence is killing us’, and ‘help Nigeria to save lives’ among others.
One of the protesters, identified as TJ, said, “We want them to know what Nigeria is all about. UN needs to intervene to rescue the situation.”
