Northern Coalition drags NASS to court over constitutional review

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the spokesman of the group, Abdul-aziz Sulaiman, argued that instead of ongoing constitutional review, the defendants should immediately provide a framework for the actualisation of agitators’ demand on self-determination.
