Gani Adams Writes US, UN Over Killings In South-West

• Gani Adams has written a letter to the US, UN over killings in the South-West region.

Aare Ona kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has called on the international community to intervene in the protracted killings across the South-West region of Nigeria, EKO HOT BLOG has gathered.

Gani Adams made the call via a strongly worded letter to global bodies like the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), the United States, among others.

The Aare Ona kakanfo of Yorubaland in the letter titled, ‘Urgent Need to stop killings by Fulani Herdsmen in Yorubaland’, said the killing in the region is threatening Nigeria’s union.

Gani Adams stressed that it was the duty of the global community to intervene and address the issue in a holistic manner, betraying the inability of the Federal Government (FG) to stop the killing.

He added that the number of prominent Yoruba people who have been murdered by killer herdsmen and their collaborators has been on the increase on a daily basis.

Gani Adams stated, “The peace, stability, and tranquility of Yoruba people in this geographical space called Nigeria are being tested by blood-thirsty maniacs through invasion of our land.

“This is to bring to your attention ‘a clear and present danger’ threatening the fragile union of our great country, Nigeria.

“Senseless killings and massacres of Nigerians, almost on a daily basis, are tragically sliding toward an anarchical terminal point.

“The inability or apathetic attitude of the Federal Government, pitiably as it is, is already compounding an already gory situation.

“While you already know, through diplomatic sources and the media, what is going on in the world’s most populous black nation, Nigeria, I want to urgently alert you that an agenda bordering on pogrom is gradually being executed in Yorubaland.

“Yorubaland has been put under serious pressure through payment of ransom – running into millions of naira – demanded by these conscienceless, unscrupulous, and ruthless murderers.

“Now, the agitation for them to leave our land has reached an alarming crescendo and the backing (that is the belief of our people) given to them by the Federal Government to continue to lay claim to the fact that ‘nobody can chase anybody away from any part of the country’, is not helping matters,” the letter read in part.
