The Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS) has asked the United Nations (UN) to intervene in Nigeria, saying the country is on the verge of violent disintegration.
NINAS refers to itself as a “multi-ethnic alliance of the
indigenous peoples of the Middle Belt (part of the former Northern Region),
Ilana Omo Oodua (the former Western Region) and the Lower Niger (Former Eastern
& Mid-Western Regions)”.
In a letter to the UN after a freedom march at its
headquarters in New York, United States, on Tuesday, Banji Akintoye, chairman
of NINAS, and Tony Nnadi, the secretary-general, said Nigeria has “failed
irredeemably”.
“We, the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria gather today at the
Headquarters of the United Nations in New York to alert the UN, and the rest of
the Global Community that the Union of Nigeria has failed irredeemably; and is
now at the verge of a Violent Disintegration with Catastrophic Consequences for
Global Peace, and Security as our population of over 200 million would become
an Instant Global Refugee Nightmare,” the letter read.
“Amidst the extraordinary difficulties inflicted by the
imposition and enforcement of Sharia by a section of Nigeria in a supposedly
Secular Union, the immediate reason for this looming catastrophe is the
Cocktail of Mass Killing, Kidnapping and General Banditry being orchestrated
against the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria by an invading Fulani Militia
masquerading as Herdsmen in an undisguised Ethnic Cleansing Campaign that
progressively demonstrate the Complicity of the Federal Government of Nigeria
headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani man, who as
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria is also the Life Grand Patron
of the notorious Miyetti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria; that
proudly takes responsibility for the Murderous Exploits of the Fulani Herdsmen
Militia designated the Fourth Most Deadly Terror Group.
“It will be recalled that following widespread extrajudicial
killings in Nigeria, the UN in August of 2019, dispatched a Special Rapporteur
Mission to Nigeria led by Agnes Callamard. The Damning Verdict of that
Rapporteur Mission was that the widespread extrajudicial killings were flowing
from the Unitary Constitutional Arrangements of Nigeria, which operates as a
PRESSURE-COOKER FOR INJUSTICE and that Nigeria under that Constitution is a
Danger to Global Peace and Security.
“The report warned that unless something is done urgently,
Nigeria would Snap, plunging its 200 million Population into turmoil that will
trigger a Large-Scale Refugee Crisis of unprecedented magnitude at a time the
Global Terror Networks, ISIS, ISWAP and AL-Qaeda are already converging in
Nigeria.
“That Nigeria has failed as a State is no longer a Subject
for Debate, having emerged the Global Poverty Capital, and Playing Host to Two
of the World’s Top Four Most Deadly Terrorists Organisation, with
Three-quarters of the Constituent Components (South and Middle-Belt) Seeking
Urgent Extrication by Way of Referendums from what has become a Union of
Death.”
The group further stated that its protest to the UN is to
alert the global community of the “rapidly degenerating situation of Nigeria”
and to ask the UN to intervene in the crisis confronting the country.
