A Dutch Human Rights Firm, Prakken d'Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers is reporting that The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) have retained a lawyer, Prof. Dr. Göran Sluiter to file a complaint against the Nigerian President Buhari before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) have retained a Dutch lawyer, Prof. Dr. Göran Sluiter. He has been instructed to file a criminal complaint against Nigerian President Buhari before the International Criminal Court (ICC), on account of crimes against humanity. The people of Biafra, living in the South of Nigeria, have been trying to exercise their right to self-determination for decades now.
They have been systematically oppressed by the Nigerian government and have suffered serious human rights violations, amounting to crimes against humanity. Since the election of new Nigerian President Buhari, violence and crimes committed against the people of Biafra has intensified.
This is exemplified by the recent unlawful arrest and detention of the Biafra’s leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, since 14 October 2015. Prof. Dr. Sluiter is convinced that there is more than enough evidence to have the ICC Prosecutor conclude that the people of Biafra are the victim of crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC and that President Buhari plays an essential role in these crimes.
He also points out that the situation in Nigeria –including other crimes committed by Buhari, namely the electoral violence of 2011- has been under preliminary examination of the ICC for some time now and that the moment has come for the Prosecutor of the ICC to launch a full criminal investigation.
The criminal complaint will be finalized on short notice and will in the interests of justice and transparency be made available to the public.
Also recall that President Buhari and Rotimi Amechi were whisked away in Black Maria after the Chattam House Speech in London this year. See Video Below
