In compliance with a resolution from the collective leadership of the United Naga Peoples’ Government (UNPG) and the Naga National Council (NNC) in the Parent Body (PB), Toshi Walling has been expelled from both active and primary membership of the UNPG/NNC-PB. This was stated in a statement by S Kiviho Zhimomi, Ato Kilonser of UNPG/NNC (PB).

According to Zhimomi, all assignments, powers, and authority vested in Walling are nullified and withdrawn immediately due to his “alleged conspiracy with an external entity to subvert and destabilize the peaceful functioning of the UNPG government and to sabotage the stability and integrity of the Naga National Political Group (WC, NNPGs).”“The treacherous act of Ino Toshi Walling has left no space for the Collective Leadership to reintegrate him into the UNPG/NNC. The interest of the Naga Nation is paramount,” the statement said.

However, in another statement issued by Toshi Walling, the Ato Kilonser of the United Naga Peoples’ Government (UNPG) and the Naga National Council (NNC) Parent Body (PB) convened an emergency meeting on October 31, 2024, at the residence of the Ato Kilonser. According to Walling, the assembly addressed the impeachment of S Kiviho Zhimomi, the President of UNPG/NNC, due to alleged violations of the Yezhabo (Constitution).

The decision to impeach Zhimomi was based on the grounds that he “was assigned and deputed as a Secret Agent (Undercover)” who enrolled himself in the NNC (PB) by the GPRN/NSCN since 2016 to pass all internal information. In this regard, it was stated that the House resolved to impeach him from active and primary membership.

Reacting to this, the GPRN/NSCN (Alezo) expressed utter shock at the “intolerable mischief” of Walling’s statement, which allegedly involved GPRN/NSCN-U while supposedly terminating his own President, UNPG/NNC (PB).

“To accuse Mr Kiviho Zhimomi, President of UNPG/NNC (PB), of being an undercover agent of GPRN/NSCN is quite absurd, and we reject it outright,” the GPRN/NSCN-U stated. They expressed that the insinuation is “deeply regrettable” as there is a “clear fingerprint of Mr Toshi Walling’s handlers at work”.

“The GPRN/NSCN (U), led by President Gen. (Retd) MB Neopao Konyak and Ato Kilonser Alezo Venuh, is an institution of the Naga People and will not tolerate deviated and sold-out elements questioning the integrity of the people’s government,” it stated.
