Movement of the People of Nigeria, a civil society organisation has frowned at the suit instituted by some persons against Nigeria's military leadership before a United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia.


THE NIGERIAN noted that a United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia had granted leave to 10 Biafran plaintiffs to sue Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and 13 others for complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings under colour of Nigeria law to retaliate for peaceful Biafran protests against ethnic or religious oppression.
Brought under the Torture Victims Protection Act and Alien Tort Claims Act Complaint, the plaintiffs are seeking millions of dollars as damages to compensate for their grievous losses and suffering.

Reacting, however, Chairman of the group, Innocent Oche Pita in a statement forwarded to THE NIGERIAN tagged the suit as a calculated attempt to rubbish the US judiciary for its liberal stand on human rights and protection of lives, abuse the law under which the suit is filed so that it no longer serves the purpose for which it was crafted, and to use it to cause strain in Nigeria – US relations.
According to him, “ Secrecy in a case that claims to be as grounded as the plaintiffs claimed is dubious as it implies that criminals can hide under such unanimity to further questionable agenda. The plaintiffs would only fear exposing their identities either because they are not real in the first place or that they are persons with criminal records in the US.”
He alleged that people behind the suit are not Nigerians and should stop dragging the name of the country's military to the mud.

He added that, “This is why we are worried that even non-Nigerians can be coached to give evidence since it is apparent that the people that filed the suit are not honest enough to show themselves.”
The group’s leader vowed that MOP will raise its own team of lawyer to confront anyone or any group that is out to rubbish the image of our great country or attempts to further diminish its citizenry in the eyes of citizens of the world.

“ Much as it is glaring that the US courts lack jurisdiction to try such issues, it is good to state clearly that there is no record or evidence that the Nigerian Military abused the rights of any citizen within or outside the territory of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and those who fear such are common criminals who had held the country by the jugular in the recent past through acts like banditry, kidnaping and gun-for-hire.
“The world is aware that Nigeria has suffered in the hands of terrorists and extremists and the Biafra agitators are another brand of terrorists that must not be admitted into the United States, Nigeria or any other peace loving nation. It will be wise for the Trump administration and the security agencies to discretely investigate the plaintiffs as regards their activities in the United State before they become the kind of nuisance that is presently threatening the United Kingdom and other European countries,” he added.

These fools actually made some remarks here, first they claimed that US Court has no Jurisdiction over the matter, and secondly they claimed that Nigeria army has never killed or abuse the rights of its citizens within or outside its territories, again they said that the armless and non violent IPOB are terrorists. Most times I wonder whether these people's brains functions with Nokia battery, and as a result always runs low do to lack of power in the zoo where they came from, how can an acclaimed matured man come on to the attention of the world and say that Nigeria army never killed or abuse the right of anyone whereas the videos, not even audio but videos evidences of the evils and animalistic killings of innocent IPOB members are everywhere online for everyone to see? Even when AmnestyInternational has their series of evidences, yet these hardened and unrepentant criminals think they're talking to babies, probably their fellow dunce brains. How can someone who is placing an essential demand without arms and violence be termed a terrorist while another who is sophisticatedly armed, have killed hundreds of innocent populace and they're called herdsmen? Yet non of the so called herdsmen has been condemned in their inhuman and terror act let alone arresting any of them, and you said these people don't need brain surgery? Why are they afraid of being tried in the Court? And based on their statements here, they're saying that they will either boycott the Court or disobey it just like it's their norm in their zoo republic. We have said it before and let me repeat it again, all those who participated in the killings of innocent IPOB members either directly or indirectly MUST pay a heavy price either physically, spiritually or both, but non of them will escape our nets of Justice even in their death. They must also know that the unstoppable quest for the restoration of BIAFRA MUST be accomplished and imminently.

Who made this statement must be lost.

How can you say there're no evidence of human rights abuse when amnesty international has shown evidence.

How can you say the usa has no right to try such a case when the usa is the founder of the un, amnesty, usaid etc that nigeria is signatory to.

Nigerians lack sharp minds, honestly.

NB: person behind this a south southerner..the back stabbers since the beginning of time

ok

U wicked souls should head to the court and defend urselves and stop littering the web space and disturbing people with thrash and unneeded articles.

Paid lackeys, see you in court!

Dividing Nigeria is a small task.
We are done with they process.

Burutai and other murderers should answer their court case and stop the childishness.

Abi its ISIS that sued them in the US?

They are coming

They are coming

The Stars( Israelites ) are coming to help the people of the Sun ( Biafrans ) build a prosperous nation in 10 years


Burantai will go to jail for crimes against the Suns
