Court Determines Suit Between Nigeria, Biafra On Sept 22 -daily Sun by HungerBAD: 1:39am On Jul 19, 2015
The Supreme Coun­cil of Elders of In­digenous People of Biafra, has dissoci­ated itself from the brains behind Radio Biafra and their operations, which it said were inciting, bel­ligerent and full of hate speeches. We have no busi­ness with any group or individual not operating under our customary laws and in obedience to the laws of Nigeria”, It stated.

In a statement signed by its Deputy chairman, Dr Dozie Ikedife, the pro-Bi­afra group said that the pres­sure group did not believe in threat or wars, illegality, insults and abuse of indi­viduals or groups in pursuit of self-determination for in­digenous people anywhere.

“The leadership of the indigenous people of Biafra under the customary laws and in obedience to the laws of Nigeria do not subscribe to violence, rough or abu­sive language. We know that the law has created a wide window, indeed a door, for actualising self determina­tion for indigenous people not just of Biafra but for any other indigenous group.” Dr Ikedife said.


Meanwhile, September 22, 2015, has been fixed for the next hearing of the suit against Nigeria by the Supreme Council of Elders of the Indigenous People of Biafra using its legal arm, Bilie Human Right Initia­tive at the Federal High Court, Owerri.

In suit no FHC/OW/ CS/192/2013, the Bilie Hu­man Rights Initiative rep­resenting the Indigenous People of Biafra, who are indigenes of the South East geo-political zone of Nigeria, parts of South South and the Middle Belt zones, as claimants and Federal Republic of Nige­ria, Attorney-General of the Federation as defendants, according to the originating summons, sought to en­force their right to self-de­termination pursuant to Ar­ticles 19 -25 of the African Charter on Human and Peo­ples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap 10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990, and to re­dress all wrongs occasioned on them by the defendants. As a result, the claimants are praying for the determi­nation by the court whether the Indigenous People of Bi­afra, who are the remnants that were not consumed in the Nigeria-Biafra war of 1967 –1970, have the right of self-determination pursu­ant to Articles 19 –25 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

The summons also sought the determination by the court whether the claimants who identified themselves as Biafrans by indigenous identity were committing any offence by doing so contrary to any provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nige­ria 1999 or contrary to any provision of the Criminal Code and whether it is a crime under any national or international law to mention the name of Biafra or for the remnants of the Indigenous People of Biafra who were not consumed by the war to maintain their indigenous identity as Biafrans with their native emblems and symbols as they do now even though they are Ni­gerians by citizenship and nationality laws; and if the answer is in the negative, whether the defendants are justified to arrest, shoot and kill the children of the claimants for identifying themselves as Biafrans.

Why can't they take the case to the Hague.

The case can see the light of the day only if a rat can have justice in a case where cat is the judge.

The way i c it, the Supreme Coun­cil of Elders of In­digenous People of Biafra was created by loyalist of the federal government to run a parallel movement with the main biafra movement. They know they wil not win the case and when that happen, it give the world an impression that Biafra has finally come to rest

The man behind the hate speeches (Nnamdi Kanu) wants to make himself an emperor by using gullible people to lead an insurrection.
He wants foot soldiers who will die for him while he hides somewhere only to come out and declare himself leader if the war should succeed.

I never knew that gullible set of people could be found among the 'smart' tribe of Nigeria. I am very disappointed.

How guillble are "Biafrans". Op your title should be. Nigeria prepares to hear the Nigeria vs Biafra suit on sept 22 not court undecided. Let them keep on getting scammed. You better open your eyes. If at all you guys are leaving. I can bet everything my beloved dog holds dear this is the dumbest and sure-to-fail way to do it undecided

The petitioners' best bet is to take their case to the ICJ. Issues of self-determination or independence cannot be adjudicated by a Nigerian court.
The ICJ could either dismiss their petition, or order a UN-backed plebiscite in the areas that are part of the proposed new sovereign nation.

Thats a good decision, i'm an Igbo but i'm totally not in support with the Biafra led Nnamdi Kanu. Imagine him inciting violence, saying we should donate in the purchase of arms to fight the government.

Hell NO!. We dont want war, the funny part is that he wont even fight, and he'll surely Transport his family out of the country. While the gullible Igbos and innocents dies. SEE SENSE!

9 out of 10 of my Igbo close associate thinks that the people that are actually preaching this hatred among the Ibo are those who have never cross the River Niger bridge to the SW. They said, no right thinking Igbo man after establish his business well in any region in the country will want to set it ablaze for the sake of returning home to be with his clans.

I felt like you many years back but when one became of age and goes back to history and read all the injustice and genocide the indigbo had suffered, one can't help but support the move. Biafra has to be and that can't be achieved by keeping quiet.
