Biafra Group Sues FG Over Abandoned Property And Others by Igbogadi(m): 11:48am On Jan 10, 2013
Biafra: Group sues FG over abandoned property, others

OWERRI—A Federal High Court sitting in Owerri has been urged to decide whether the indigenous people of Biafra, who survived the Nigeria-Biafra war of 1967-1970, have the right to self-determination.

Bilie Human Rights Initiative, representing Indigenous People of Biafra, made the plea in a suit, FHC/OW/CS/102/2012, which the group filed against the Federal Government and Attorney General of the Federation.

The group also urged the court to decide whether by the 1963 Constitution, which took effect on October 1, 1963, and remained in force until the midnight of September 30, 1979, the defendants were right to seize and confiscate the assets, properties, money and all treasures belonging to the claimants by promulgating the Abandoned Properties Act of September 28, 1979.

The claimants prayed the court to determine “whether the defendants were justified to violate the International Humanitarian Law and Laws of War, known as the Geneva Convention of 1949, to which the defendants acceded and ratified June 20, 1961, by bombing the Biafran civilians, killing the Biafran civilians and using starvation to kill the children, women and the elderly of the civilian population of the indigenous people of Biafra in the war of 1967-1970, in order to win the war.”

The suit is supported by a 44-paragraph affidavit sworn to by Innocent Obinna Amadi, an engineer, while hearing is expected to begin January 16, 2013.

This is good news!

He who takes a child's belonging and raises his hand will bring down his hand when he is tired. FG's hands are now weary.

I am going to sue this group for damages on the life of my grandfather that the war they started claimed.Secondly in areas they claim they abandoned property they have no valid prove of ownership. They had wanted to colonize SS but it backfired. Thank God for the war PH has been liberated from internal colonialism.

The Ikwerreman did not declare abandon property. And those Ibos that genuinely owned land came back and inherited it after the war. People who lost their property were those who out of the overzealous dominance of the Ibos cheated the Ikwerres on their land. The Chief Judge was Ibo, police Ibo everything Ibo. Where are u taking your complaint to if not to suffer it and pray to Almighty for Liberation? The civil war answered the prayers of the Ikwerreman. If need be we will still declare abandon property.
