Lawyers are to file a complaint before the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on alleged human rights abuses against members of the pro-Biafran separatist movement. Dutch lawyer and professor Göran Sluiter, who specialises in international criminal law, is leading the team that will file the complaint at the Hague in the Netherlands in February. Sluiter and his colleague Andrew Ianuzzi are working full time on the case, and are occasionally assisted by a team of 20 other lawyers. Sluiter told IBTimes UK they have been representing the "Biafran minority" since the arrest of pro-Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu in October 2015. "We have found evidence of some crimes directed against the Biafran minority in Nigeria," he said. "Violations include violence against demonstrators, torture, murder, enforced disappearances and incarcerations. Biafra protests A pro-Biafran lies prostrate after being shot allegedly by the army on 17 DecemberIpob "There is a whole list of incidents and with Buhari coming into power, this is becoming more of a structured nature, exemplified by Kanu's arrest and how the government is dealing with demonstrations calling for Kanu's release." Sluiter also made reference to the use of Skype in sourcing evidence and the issue of human rights. He said: "In addition to information on public sources, I have conducted phone and Skype interviews with individual victims as we wanted to hear the first-hand evidence. "I also received pictures of victims of police violence during demonstrations. We will be presenting anonymous interviews with about 20,25 people, but there are many more victims. "There has been a systematic denial of human rights of the Biafran people, who are oppressed by the government. We hope that the ICC will bring justice to the victims with serious investigations and hopefully a trial. We also hope that Mr Kanu – whose treatment is symbolic of the treatment of the entire Biafran minority in Nigeria – will be released. https://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/1476225/biafra-protests.jpg?w=300 Biafra movement Thousands of people – mainly from Igbo extraction – identify themselves as Biafrans, a term used to define people living in the Biafran territories forcibly annexed to present-day south-eastern Nigeria during the British colonisation. Pro-Biafran calls have intensified since October 2015, following the arrest of Kanu, who is also the director of Radio Biafra. In spite of a High Court ruling in favour of his release, Kanu is being detained by the State Security Service (DSS) amid allegations of torture. A day after the ruling, officials pressed new charges against him. “There is a whole list of incidents and with Buhari coming into power, this is becoming more of a structured nature, exemplified by Kanu's arrest”-Lawyer Göran Sluiter Pro-Biafrans have often accused the police and army of unjustified violence against demonstrators. In one of the latest episodes of alleged violence, the army was accused of killing between four and 10 people who were celebrating the high court verdict on Kanu on 17 December. During several interviews with IBTimes UK, the Nigerian police have always denied the killings. Since Nigeria gained independence in 1960, there have been movements calling for the independence of Biafra. In 1967, the declaration of an independent Republic of Biafra triggered a three-year-long civil war that caused millions of deaths. Government's response When asked to comment on the allegations, Buhari's spokesperson Femi Adesina told IBTimes UK: "The lawyers have a right to their opinions. It does not make what they say gospel truth." Referring to Kanu, Adesina said: "The president already spoke on the matter during the Presidential Media Chat of December 30." During the chat, Buhari said Kanu and former security aide Sambo Dasuki – accused of stealing money aimed for the fight against Boko Haram terrorists – will not be freed in spite of High Court rulings in favour of their release. In an interview with Radio Continental earlier in January, Adesina defended Buhari against allegations that he does not like the Igbos, one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/nigeria-amsterdam-lawyers-file-complaint-icc-over-buharis-crimes-against-biafrans-1537226 |

Repentant Niger Delta militants and members of the now-rested Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front, NDPDF, have advised President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately release the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, in order to reduce the growing tension in the country. They equally demanded an immediate pull-out of the military personnel deployed to the Niger Bridge in Onitsha, Anambra state, to allow free flow of traffic for the “innocent citizens of South- South and South East”. Leader of the group, Precious Iyoyo (aka General Playboy) made this call over the weekend in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, where he warned that the continued detention of Kanu, even after a court had released him on bail, was provocative and dictatorial. He disclosed that former militants would not fold their hands and watch their brothers and sisters from the South-South and South East regions “chased, tortured or enslaved with impunity in our land.” “The Nigerian government is dangerously pushing us to the wall. The unprovoked mass shooting and killing of our brothers and sisters will no longer be tolerated,” Iyoyo warned. While calling on those from the two geopolitical zones who are sabotaging the Biafra struggle to have a rethink, he vowed that the NDPDF would support and sustain the agitation. https://www.today.ng/news/national/61347/ex-ndelta-militants-vow-to-sustain-biafra-struggle-demand-kanus-release |
WisdomCanada:look at the way you are talking at your fellow Igbo man, tomorrow now all of us will be shouting Biafra upandan. It's their time to produce a governor, let them be, that is the same way we scorn when others say Igbos can't be president. i just don't like that, that is why I respect Ikwerres right not to be called Igbos, because the same fate Ngwas are suffering is what will befell them. I don't like it, the man is doing good so far, am not from Abia, but i live in Aba, the man is trying, all the hate towards Okezie is just because he is an Ngwa man, very very very bad. |
Buhari should just chill and allow court orders to be carried out. He is setting a mark of tyrannical tendencies before Nigerians and world in general, which is too bad for Nigeria itself. All those wishing we return to dictatorship or "benevolent tyranny". In my local language we say "isi kote ebu, ogbakasia ya" Dazzal! |
How come all these APC rats are desiring for us to go back to dictatorship, are these guys mad or something? |
Out of all this, na zoo and Indian police be correct "olokpas". no wonder we call zoo police "ndi uwe ojii". |

Now we are left with an unrepentant old despotic dictator, he finds it sweet to carry out vindictive agendas using the secret service. I weep Iron hand does not mold a good country, rule of law, justice, equity and fairness does. |
