The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, to urgently report Nigeria's escalating insecurity to the UN Security Council.
The organization made the call in an open letter dated May 30, 2026, signed by its deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare.
SERAP requested Guterres to invoke Article 99 of the UN Charter, which empowers the Secretary-General to bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter that may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.
According to the rights group, the country's worsening insecurity is marked by mass abductions, killings, attacks on civilians, and mass displacement across Oyo, Benue, Borno, Plateau, Kaduna, Zamfara, and several other states.
