The Nigerian Indigenous National Alliance for Self-determination, NINAS, on Thursday, urged the United States, Britain, France, Russia, Germany and other top European and Western Countries to impose heavy sanctions on the Federal Government for undermining democracy and continuously abusing human rights.

The group also urged the American Government and European Countries to stop selling Arms to the Nigerian Government, alleging that previous arms sold to the Buhari led government with borrowed funds have found their way into the hands of Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram, ISIS and other terrorists that are currently terrorising the Indigenous people of the South and Middle Belt of Nigeria.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-7532470883667401&output=html&h=280&adk=3496157056&adf=3076608594&pi=t.aa~a.193888505~i.3~rp.4&w=833&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1628207589&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4770774342&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=833×280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanguardngr.com%2F2021%2F08%2Fsuspend-sales-of-arms-to-nigeria-for-undermining-democracy-akintoye-nwodo-turaki-others-tell-us-eu-others%2F&flash=0&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=833&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChAI8JiuiAYQm9Tkj7O37LErEi8AtLNMZqC3kxU_MqN_sRdH6vjOexGoXS0qH-TLucRSOJ4S7N5oNvrFB4uxv6w7Lg&uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTAuMCIsIng4NiIsIiIsIjkyLjAuOTAyLjU1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&dt=1628207589213&bpp=11&bdt=13665&idt=12&shv=r20210803&mjsv=m202108040201&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Df8fc6de2d74c6b82%3AT%3D1628207084%3AS%3DALNI_Mat-3vO4-5Y_c-r8stTdRB7go_PKQ&prev_fmts=1200×280%2C0x0&nras=2&correlator=8572203279926&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=760277577.1597096534&ga_sid=1628207585&ga_hid=412554139&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=768&u_w=1366&u_ah=728&u_aw=1366&u_cd=24&u_nplug=3&u_nmime=4&adx=34&ady=2262&biw=1349&bih=657&scr_x=0&scr_y=435&eid=42530672%2C20211866&oid=3&pvsid=855567388934974&pem=101&wsm=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.latestnigeriannews.com%2F&eae=0&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1366%2C0%2C1366%2C728%2C1366%2C657&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&jar=2021-08-04-23&ifi=9&uci=a!9&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=CKIYSZkgeJ&p=https%3A//www.vanguardngr.com&dtd=263
