ONITSHA— The Directorate of Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, has advised the
Nigerian Defence Headquarters to channel
the money which they used in setting up a
12-man committee on human rights
recently towards hiring a formidable
defence attorney who will defend them at
the up-coming court case at the
International Criminal Court, ICC in the
Hague.
IPOB said perhaps, the attorney, if hired,
could be able to reduce by a few years, the
imminent long jail terms awaiting the
killers of unarmed civilians in Aba as soon
as the human rights abuse cases are heard
and determined at the ICC in the Hague.

In a press statement issued yesterday and
signed by Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford
Iroanya, their spokespersons, IPOB
described the 12-man committee
inaugurated on Monday, March 21, this year
by the Nigerian Defence Headquarters
represented by the Chief of Defence Staff,
General Abayomi Olonisakin as a charade
and a red-herring strategy of General
Olonisakin and his cohorts to deceive the
general public and the ICC officials.
According to the statement entitled:
“Nigerian defence headquarters and their
deceit”, IPOB contended that although it
is not clear if the Defence Headquarters
was acting based on Section-5(1) CAP A20
L.F.N. 2004 or trying to save the life and
career of the never-retiring Buratai , it is
pertinent to note that the military cannot
investigate a crime committed by itself and
come out with a fruitful result.
During the inauguration of the so-called
12-man human rights committee on
Monday, March 21, General Olonisakin had
noted that each member of the committee
was invited to look into the complaints of
human rights abuses leveled against the
military.
He also urged the committee to
expand their focus beyond the North East,
to also include other areas of contention
including the issues emanating from
clashes with the Islamic Movement of
Nigeria, IMN, IPOB, and Rivers State election
re-run amongst others.
General Olonisakin also stated that the
Armed Forces of Nigeria are always guided
by global best practices, Rules of
Engagement, ROE for military operations
other than war as well as Codes of Conduct
for internal security operations. On the
other hand, he warned that the Armed
Forces “would not sacrifice
professionalism on the platter of
lawlessness or extra-judicial conducts of
anybody or groups.
“The terms of reference of this
committee include “collation and
documentation of written complaints, as
well as investigation of all the alleged
rights violations, interface with human
rights bodies, recommend appropriate
sanctions where necessary and advice
generally on modalities to curtail violations
of human rights by troops.”

O setigo...

Nice advice if you ask me. Buhari should save his money and concentrate on the his upcoming case at the hague.

We know he is above Nigerian law but he is a rat compared to International laws even bigger tyrants like Al-Bashir his friend run and hide at the sight of Interpol when they go for international meetings.

At the Aljazeera interview Buhari confirmed that he ordered the killing of easterners in Aba, he will tell the world why he ordered the killing of unarmed prostesters.

Easterners should start buying spy cameras and mounting them everywhere the murderous sunni soldiers are positioned in the East.
It is either he goes to gaol or runs to saudi for exile like Idi amin did when the warrant is issued. For every time the uniformed zombies squeeze their trigger, Buhari moves closer to jail.

Sorry my Hausa/fulani friends, we voted and loved Shagari and Yar'adua... but this sectionalist and hateful tyrant called Buhari, who always bay for blood? No! HE WILL PAY FOR HIS CRIMES IN LIFE OR DEATH. THAT'S SACROSANCT!

lalasticlala you see say Buhari the traveller go soon travel and never come back again like monkey wey go market where dem dey sell bushmeat.

sounds nice
at least a 10050000 years in jail term will do

alasticlala you see say Buhari the traveller go soon travel and never come back again like monkey wey go market where dem dey sell bushmeat.

Wake me up when they re sentenced to jail.

Ipod has perfected the art of deceiving their gullible people.

1. Fake passport

2. Fake airline

3. Dubious meeting with UN in June of last year.

4. AU invited them to Ethiopia.

5. Cameron, Obama, Hollande and Putin warned PMB over a war mongering lunatic.

When will you stop deceiving your own people?

not watching d Aljazeera video clip of d killing of unarmed protesters was d low point for Buhari and by extension meant he ordered d killing. A charismatic leader wud v at least watched d video knowing he was on a global tv station, express some compassion thru body language and promise to investigate but his authoritarian mindset obviously got d better part of him.

i thought we yorubas should by now known where we are headed as a people. Trolling Biafrans who sincerely want, and are bold enough to fight for their freedom will end up making we yorubas a worthless people. I dont want the future of my children to be dependent on what the ibos want. Trolling Biafrans make us yorubas look cheap among other nigerians. Most of u trolls think u re doing us a favour but u re actually disgracing us.
