Clerics attack on Wike: FCT natives urged to suspend planned protest

The indigenous people of the FCT who comprise nine tribes have been urged to suspend their planned peaceful protest in support of the FCT Minister, Nyemso Wike, over calls by some clerics claiming that the FCT belongs to the North.
