American Lawyers Announce Collection of Evidence to Prosecute Nigeria’s President Buhari and Lt. General Buratai in the International Criminal Court for Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity





By FEIN & DELVALLE PLLC



WASHINGTON, D.C.--On behalf of Biafrans who covet justice—the dead, the living, and those yet to be born—the law firm of Fein & DelValle PLLC is drafting a criminal indictment against Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusfu Buratai, for genocide and crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

Buhari and Buratai are criminally culpable because of their command responsibility over security forces operating under their direction or control and who are terrorizing tens of millions of Biafrans specifically because of their Christianity and ethnicity. The crimes include extrajudicial killings, torture, and sister unspeakable horrors. They are the grisly signature of Buhari’s and Buratai’s ongoing military campaign in the South East region with the euphemistic moniker “Operation Python Dance II.




The indictment being drafted by Fein & DelValle will be presented to Chief Prosecutor of the ICC, Fatou Bensouda. It will be modeled after the genocide or crimes against humanity indictments returned against Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic, Sudan’s Omar Bashir, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi, Chad’s Hissen Habre, and Cambodia’s Comrade Duch.

The overwhelming majority of Biafrans cannot speak for themselves without risking lethal retaliation by President Buhari or Lt. General Buratai. That fear explains the reason the United States District Court for the District of Columbia granted the motion of Fein & DelValle to reference their ten (10) Biafran plaintiffs anonymously in their Torture Victims Protection Act suit against sixteen (16) individual Nigerian defendants inDoe, et al. v. Buratai, et al., Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-0133.

Fein & Delvalle are gathering photographic, video, and testimonial evidence of the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity perpetrated by Buhari and Buratai against Igbos not only in the South East region, but also in northern Nigeria and elsewhere. There is no safe haven in Nigeria for them. Last June, Hausa Fulani youths in northern Nigeria (AREWA) with impunity threated to evict eleven million Igbos from their homes and businesses in northern Nigeria by force and violence if they did not quit the area by October 1, 2017.

Mr. Fein stated: “We are confident that 50 million Igbos in Nigeria were not born with saddles on their backs ready to be ridden by booted and spurred Hausa-Fulani with the grace of God. Criminal prosecutions of Buhari and Buratai before the International Criminal Court are the best way of teaching that gospel.”




Mr. Fein and Mr. DelValle voiced optimism that the prosecutions of Buhari and Buratai will prompt the United Nations Security Council to task the United Nations Electoral Unit to conduct a referendum on Biafran independence in the South East region; and, to operate a transitional government for a six-month period prior to the balloting to avoid any intimidation of the voters. It is no accident that South Sudan achieved independence on the heels of President Bashir’s ICC indictment for genocide in Darfur.

Nigeria’s current borders were drawn by a racist British colonial master more than a century ago with no reference to the inhabitants. The boundaries are morally, legally, and politically indefensible. The Government of Nigeria does not reflect popular will on that score. It rules under a 1999 Constitution that was decreed by a military dictator for the purpose, among other things, of holding Igbos in bondage to Hausa-Fulani terrorists.

Britain defaulted on its decolonization obligation to permit self-determination referenda by each of the separate and distinct peoples of Nigeria. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514, December 14, 1960, provides: “All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”.

Okay so, I'm wondering if these are facts cos, some other Nigerians, even those of south-eastern extraction, might just happen to opine rather differently:

" . . . Nigeria’s current borders were drawn by a racist British colonial master more than a century ago with no reference to the inhabitants. The boundaries are morally, legally, and politically indefensible. The Government of Nigeria does not reflect popular will on that score. It rules under a 1999 Constitution that was decreed by a military dictator for the purpose, among other things, of holding Igbos in bondage to Hausa-Fulani terrorists . . . "

I'm just trying to say that documents such as these are never this weak if the author expects any attention from authorities that wield such magnitude of power.

Ok

Don't mind them! Even charge and bail lawyer with his chamber under the mango tree would defeat them.

In zombies voices. show us source like Magi. Fake news, IPOB can lie like lie Mohammed

THE WAY THIS SOUTHEAST SITUATION IS REPORTED IN THE MEDIA AND THE WAY THEY GO ABOUT IT ONE WILL THINK THE NIGERIAN ARMY IS JUST ROUNDING UP EVERY IGBO INDIGENE AND KILLING THEM. BUT I'VE CALLED FRIENDS IN AWKA AND ENUGU AND THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGED IS INCREASED MILITARY CHECKPOINTS. I MAY NOT SUPPORT THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE TO THE SOUTHEAST SITUATION BUT IT IS AN INSULT BOTH TO THE SUFFERING VICTIMS IN SOUTH SUDAN AND TO THE NIGERIAN ARMY BY INSINUATING THAT THE SITUATION IN THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH SUDAN ARE SIMILAR.
I DO NOT KNOW THE NUMBER OF SOUTHEAST INDEGENES IN THE ARMY PRESENT IN THE ONGOING MILITARY EXERCISE AND DESPITE THEIR COMMANDING OFFICER BEING FROM THE NORTH, I WANT TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD RATHER COMMIT MUTINY THAN COMMIT GENOCIDE AGAINST THEIR OWN KINSMEN. ALSO SAYING THE NIGERIAN ARMY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GENOCIDE IN THE NORTHEAST IS AN INSULT TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO RESTORE A SENSE OF PEACE AND QUIET IN THE REGION.
YOU MAY NOT RESPECT THE COUNTRY'S LEADERSHIP BUT DO NOT MAKE MOCKERY OF THE SACRIFICES THAT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NIGERIAN ARMY HAVE MADE FOR THEIR COUNTRY.

If you do not know what to say or you're not certain about what you're saying, especially in matters of such precariously delicate nature, try as much as you can to say nothing.
