News Headline -No fewer than 130 pan Yoruba groups on the aegis of Alliance for Yoruba Democratic Movements (AYDM) have petitioned the United Nations Secretary General, Anthonio Guterres, over alleged plans to wage war on the Yoruba people by a coalition of terrorist forces currently operating in and outside the country.
The letter signed by leaders of the Yoruba groups and sent to the UN Secretary General, Wednesday, said the mass murder of 15 people in Kwara, including women and children by Fulani terrorists, was a prelude to mass invasion of Yoruba territories by heavily armed terrorists who are known for their thirst for blood and human flesh.
A press statement signed by the secretary of the group, Popoola Ajayi, said the 15 people killed at Oke-Ode community in Ifelodun local government area of Kwara state on September 17, 2025 were Yoruba indigenous people whose lives were terminated by Fulani terrorists on their ancestral land in Kwara state.
The coalition said the Nigerian security operatives are compromised while a section of the political class is hands in gloves with the terrorists making the prospect of state resolution of the lingering crisis difficult.
The group said the UN intervention is needed in three ways: To compel Nigeria to uphold the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, UNDRIP which upholds the principles of harmonious and cooperative relations based on the laws of justice, democracy, respect for human rights and non-discrimination in good faith established on the principle of self-determination.
