Amnesty International Accuses Nigeria Of ‘unwillingness’ To Deal With Boko Haram by Nobody: 11:24am On Dec 11, 2018
Amnesty International has accused the Nigerian government of being unwilling to deal with arrested Boko Haram members. 

Amnesty International who accused the Nigerian government of failing to bring those responsible to justice, on Monday also called on the International Criminal Court to start a full-blown investigation into atrocities committed on the course of the war against the Boko Haram insurgency.

While ICC chief prosecutor, Fatma Bensouda in her latest annual report claimed that there appeared to be a “tangible prospect” of proceedings against Boko Haram members but not against troops “since the Nigerian authorities tend to deny any allegation”, Amnesty International suggested that the Nigerian authorities was keeping her “in limbo” by giving the impression of domestic action but in reality doing very little.

“Eight years since the opening of the preliminary examination and faced with the continuing commission of crimes under international law and the possibility of a never-ending preliminary analysis, it is time for the OTP (Office of the Prosecutor) to open a formal investigation in Nigeria,” it said.

According to Daily Post, Amnesty International said Nigeria had failed to meet its obligations under international law to investigate and prosecute crimes as part of the ICC’s preliminary examination.

“It is in the interests of both the OTP and Nigeria to demonstrate that serious steps are being taken to cure Nigeria’s inability or unwillingness to bring perpetrators to justice. Above all, it is in the interest of victims,” it said.
