Its very shameful to see that all the idiots above do not know that the USA hv no jurisdiction whatsoever over Nigeria..
Even the United Nations have only as much jurisdiction dat the Nigerian government wishes to submit and surrender to it.

Can the United States govt compel Nigeria to pay reparations to Ipobians ? Even the US govt itself does not submit to the UN, as seen in the Guatamala case, and currently in the Jerusalem crisis, and yet these Ipobians bliv the same US will force us, to grant them their hrt desires..

As in ehn , their level of thinking shook me

cascarino:
That will be contempt of court. The US will assume they're guilty and will confiscate all their properties and cash in the States.

The assets will be converted to cash and proceeds will be used to compensate the victims and their families.

They will also be banned from stepping their feet in America. IPOB will then use the verdict as a precedence when they get to the ICC.

I must study law.

Let me tell you that those that put you guys together and gave you your sh.ithole identity still control YOU...That is why Buhari went to their land for 100+ days to wear diapers.

Nonsense

this must be a shock to shithole afonjas! my supreme leader nnamdi kanu said this" time will come when enemies of Biafra will be made to appear before the world Court ". Nnamdi kanu is a prophet.

Trump usa will not even mind this move ... unless Nnamdi kanu becomes usa president in the next election.

stev120:


why will a Court permit the initiation of a case that she can't punish the guilty. ...

well the USA can't arrest anybody in Nigeria except the Nigerian government gives permission. Just so you know , without permission they can't do jack ,

So as the Fulani ethno-religious bigots who are holding power in Nigeria strangulate Nigerians, and drive the country to the 29th century, you foolishly believe that rest of the world can only depend on as much jurisdiction that Nigeria government wishes to submit and surrender to it?

You are a yo yo who is very far behind how the modern global diplomacy functions .

Someone above you actually said that sarrki is the biggest fool on nairaland, but hell No! He was wrong, you are the biggest fool beyond nairaland. Imagine Onye mmong who probably never finished secondary school trying to educate the US intelligentsias on judicial proceedings. even if you finished in Cambridge or Oxford university. Etteh mmong.

his wife is not screaming out calling for him. Isn't that questioning?

solid3:
If they refuse to appear in the US court, will the US judge order their arrest in Nigeria?

DONT THEY HAVE PROPERTIES ABROAD IT WILL BE CONFISTICATED UNTIL THEY APPEAR IN COURT

frankmoney:
so if found guilty they will be arrested in naija ? Really bro ?

NO U CANNOT ARREST SOME IN POWER ESPECIALLY IN NIGERIA BUT CERTAIN STEPS CAN BE TAKEN BEFORE ARREST

sarrki:
What is Igbos ?

Do us court have jurisdiction over Nigeria ?

I thought they are educated ?

It shows they are not

What do you know?Ignorance stinks all over your body.

BushWickBill:




I's funny that these flagella-brained Igbos are like this.

Their spiritual home of Israel is driving all sorts of African migrants away.

All their noise about Judaism isn't resonating to anything tangible.

At times I wonder if these goats are hell bent on making us laugh.

Please don't tell me you are not aware that IPOB MISCREANTS have been told to remain since they share the same DNA.

Lolz.

So the rest of world has become an extension of the USA? One can see why the North Korean leader Kim Jon Un has continued to stand against America's bluff.

dlondonbadboy:

What do you know? You are just a sarrki...

I know it'll pain you Make you use pain killer

BankeSmalls:
Nnamdi Kanu is the greatest prophet ever.

Yet he ran away and left his mates in jail and he is currently hiding somewhere........ May God deliver people from their stupidity, amen.

I don't know if there's something wrong with these people called Igbos or ipigs whatever the name

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dragged the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, and 14 other Nigerian officials to a United States of America District Court over alleged complicity in the extra-judicial killings of its members.

IPOB alleged that the extra-judicial killings happened during protests over the arrest and detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Those dragged to the US court, aside Buratai and Idris are: Lawal Musa Daura; Ibrahim Attahiru; M.I. Ibrahim; Kasim Umar Sidi; Issah Maigari Abdullahi; former IGP Solomon Arase; Abia and Anambra state governors, Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano; Habila Hosea; Peter Nwagbara; James Oshim Nwafor; Hosea Karma; Bassey Abang and Johnson Babatunde Kokumo.

The suit was filed based on two US’ statutes; the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA or ATS – the Alien Tort Statute) and the Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA).

Both laws have extra-territorial reach, meaning they allow US federal courts to assert long-arm jurisdiction which extends beyond the borders of US.

ATCA provides that ‘the district courts shall have original jurisdiction on any civil action by an alien (foreigner) for a civil wrong committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.’

Since 1980, courts have interpreted this statute to allow foreign citizens to seek remedies in US courts, for human rights violations and for conducts committed outside the US.

The TVPA of 1991 is a statute which permits civil suits in the US against foreign individuals who, acting in an official capacity for any foreign nation, committed torture and/or extra-judicial killings.

In the suit, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the banned group’s lawyers argued that “the case is convincing.

“Beyond the latest processes, and at the ensuing trial, Buratai, Ikpeazu, Obiano and others, will be required to personally appear before the US court to testify under oath and cross-examination that will dwell on the details…

yes may be soon the there would b death penalty to america's most high terrorist that killed people in Iraq and afghanistan in the name of fighting terrorist,which was a ploy bkos the u s were the ones that set the groups to look like Muslims. So before convicting anybody from Nigeria may b they first put trump,obama and bush behind bars then they could start Nigerian one since america are the parents is ipob,they were trying to draw the attention of the u s not knowing trump endorse nobody in Africa,he never cares abt ur religion differences all he knows was u are just a typical monkey banana and must be kill bkos should they prefer a certain religion they wouldn't have perpetrated a war in ruwanda and Sudan. If nnamdi insist in loving trump then trump hates him,he should have started bleaching first,he first claimed to have discovered that Igbo are the descendant of Jews in the bible,but the Jews knows they had no very ugly ancestors like that,was is an evolution in only a facade ? that question should go to KANU,how comes the beautiful whites Jews turn very ugly almost like apes,what did happened ? The Jews took random samples in Aba then tested DNA and claimed that there was nothing closely related to them that resembles Igbo so KANU should catch elsewhere I know if KANU never get what he want in the us he would at the subsquent moment claim to be brother to Russian president or brother to Jesus himself. Whoever write replies to me do it for himself accord of time waste bkos I never read replies on nairaland since 2012 that's why the number of such replies ranged 712 today

making fools of their selfs again....nonesense..we told them to become a political party,they said no,biafra of death...

the only way they can get biafra territory is through war...they think we were joking or dont know nothing...

shey una see una sef now..??...

ipob is a dying dog that still manage to bark to people that bother to listen....

Nonsense

The thing is, even when Nigeria Divides, An Ibibio man will never ever agree to stay in the same country @s an igbo man, because u guys are ignorant and still will be proud of it.

By the principle of Jurisdiction.
Nigeria is the country with all the jurisdiction to entertain the issue in question,considering that it took place within our territorial sovereignty. And since it happened to Nigerians, Nigerian jurisdiction still holds sway.
The nxt port of call should nigeria fail to prosecute it shouldbe the regional bodies to which Nigeria has agreed to surrender its sovereignty, and they include, Ecowas, AU, UN.

How will the United states a sovereign country, come to tell Nigeria how to deal with issues regarding its sovereignty ? If America had such power, why then did Obama not force gay and homosexuality on us ?...
The thing is, if the worst comes to the worst, the most the US will do, will be to not want to sell us weapons... And reality check to all pigs and idiots like you.. Ruzsia, Pakistan, and lots of other countries are itching for such opportunities to sell us weapons.

It shows they are not

Take your time . . . . . .then read the post again.

call Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB anything you like...one thing is certain:this useless enclave called Nigeria must fall and Biafra must emerge....i know you would call it hate speech..well i dont care.come and arrest me.

ChimaAdeoye:
IPOB should pursue this case to its logical conclusion and secure a judgement.

Let the defendants refuse to show up to answer their case, no problem.
America isn't a country where law and order is toyed with, so they can ignore US courts, but the court orders will stand.

IPOB should just present the evidence to the court of their crimes and secure the judgement. It is a crucial step towards going to the international criminal court for crimes against humanity.
