Chief Gani Adams who is the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has in a petition, openly urged the United Nations (UN) and some other international organisations including the European Union (EU) to immediately intervene in the rising spate of insecurity in Nigeria.
The Leader had reiterated that “no part of Nigeria is safe again.”
Adams had also disclosed this in a letter which was signed and addressed to the UN Secretary-General, Mr António Guterres, and copies sent to the European Union (EU), African Union (AU), United States State Departments, Council on Foreign Relations, the International Association for Religious Freedom in the United Kingdom, and most of the other international organisations.

In the letter entitled, “Avoiding a replica of the Bosnian War in Nigeria,” the traditional ruler warned that the present insecurity, if not tamed, could consume Nigeria.
Africa Today News, New York recently reported that at least 40 people, including children and women, were massacred by yet-to-be-identified gunmen at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State, earlier this month in a bizarre attack that seems to be eluding security officials.
Also, it was reported that about 80 others picked varying degrees of injuries during the fatal attack.
The letter partly read, “Pitiably, terrorists moving from northern Nigeria to the South are being embraced, encouraged and empowered by powers that be in Nigeria.
“I am raising this alarm now because the effect of this dangerous trend may ultimately balkanise Nigeria and affect sub-Saharan Africa.
“Similar alarm was raised in defunct Yugoslavia and sadly, nobody put in check the pogromists whose actions led to the massacre in that geographical location.”
