Amnesty International has called on the Federal
Government to commence a “prompt, independent
and effective investigation” of former and serving
service chiefs for their responsibility in war crimes
during the fight against Boko Haram in the North-
East.
The organisation said that these crimes included
the killing of 8,000 persons, who were “murdered,
starved, suffocated and tortured to death.”
AI identified those to be tried for these alleged
crimes as former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen.
Azubuike Ihejirika (retd.); former Chief of Defence
Staff, Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim (retd.); Chief of
Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh; and
Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah.The
organisation said it had also petitioned the
International Criminal Court with a request for their
prosecution for war crimes in Nigeria.AI’s demand
is contained in a report entitled, ‘Stars on their
shoulders, Blood on their hands: War crimes
committed by the Nigerian military’, released on
Wednesday in Abuja.

This AI should not cause any distraction for our army. They should wait until those mofos up north are completely wiped out before calling for trials. Mtchewwwww

During the tenure of these men, Boko Haram seems to be in their worst nightmare and their existence gradually diminished at large. Why persecute these men instead of a congratulatory message for a job well done? They should investigate the Biafra war instead.
