PoliticsLawyers To Charge Buhari To ICC In February For Crimes Against Biafrans -IBTIMES by EasternLion(op): 1:54pm On Jan 12, 2016
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.

"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.

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.

PoliticsEx-N’Delta Militants Vow To Sustain Biafra Struggle, Demand Kanu’s Release-Today by EasternLion(op): 8:37pm On Jan 04, 2016
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.

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.

Of course, it must extend to anyone that has ever taken part in a coup and never detained or tried for the coup.

That is the only way we can permanently get rid of coups in Nigeria. If we only go after those that attempted unsuccessful coups, then the incentive is still there for people to carry out succeseful coups.

However, just like Buhari is only willing to investigate GEJ's term, I am very willing to concentrate on Buhari's coup and he must be tried, and if found guilty, must be killed by hanging or firing squad, and acid used to dissolve his earthly remains, just as they did to Ken Wiwa.

1. IPOD is not registered with anybody, not the UN or any credible entity on the surface of the earth.

2. The UN doesn't meddle in the internal affairs of sovereign entities unless based on or recommended by the UN security council to intervene.

3. Treason charge against his character remains a valid charge simply because he openly made treasonous statements against the Nigerian state his many treasonous statements are on record, on video.

4. Inciting violence and soliciting weapons to use against any sovereign state is not only a criminal act, it's treasonable.


Unfortunately for Nigeria, we are still saddled with people like you and your kind with ignorance, unpatriotic spirit and identity confusion dripping all over your forms.

The character in jail is not a serious character, he's dumb, foolish and ignorant. He did more damage to his biafra yarnings than good.

He should be peacefully mobilizing not only his own people, but also the rest of Nigeria towards a referendum which is what sane and rational aggrieved people do these days all over the world.

You deprive yourself needed support and goodwill when you incite hate, insult and abuse people, incite violence and destruction against your own countrymen and supporters on the other side.

Nothing good comes out of promoting hate and violence and I don't even see the UN you are talking about supporting such foolish and destructive rubbish especially when the same UN and the rest of the world is still struggling to deal with needless violence, wars and other unfortunate events all over the globe.

You people need to quit your self destructive delusions, hate and violence gets you nowhere, you have history to learn from.
