Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, in Ondo has directed its members to defend the South West against the invasion of Fulani herdsmen.

The State Chairman and Secretary of the group, Victor Olayemi Egbeyemi and Olonimoyo Fesisogbo Pedro directed their members to meet with community leaders, chiefs and security agencies in order to prevent breakdown of law and order.

Rising from a meeting held in Akure, the state capital over the weekend, the group expressed, “worry over the incessant attacks by herdsmen in different parts of the state and asked Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to enact a law that would protect farmers against the activities of herdsmen in the state.”

In a statement, Egbeyemi said: “OPC members should get prepared whether there is war or not. The herdsmen kidnapped people in Ore, they attacked the wife of our member in Akure North, and people are fleeing their farms because of the activities of the herdsmen. Chief Olu Falae’s farm was burnt; we should rise up to defend our territories.

“We should not wait until they start to kill our people before we plan to defend them. We want to reorganize ourselves to defend the interest of Yoruba people. Both Aare Adams and Dr Fasehun’s factions must work together in the interest of the people.

“It is high time the Adams and Fasehun factions come together in the state in the interest of the people as the issue before them is beyond the supremacy battle between the two groups. “Both Adams and Fasehun are from the state and their supporters should come together in the interest of the people.”

When will ICC prosecute Obama and bush

This is not about jurisdiction of the US court, this is about judgement.

Getting a judgement against someone like Burutai in a US court has worlwide rammifications, this is the greatest nation in the world. For Burutai to be convicted in a US court of human rights abuse snd extrer-judicial murder might not have much of an impact in Nigeria. But outside Nigeria, it has massive impact snd Burutai might very unfortunate that the next government might even take that Judgement serious and take Burutai up on it, APC wont be in power forever.

A negative judgement agsinst any of these men will only boost IPOB's international image. This case has nothing to do with jurisdiction

Did u read this "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 ?

BushWickBill:
If this is the stark ignorance you want to base your Biafra on, you can gladly go on your way.

Go and read about the Panama invasion and see if it compares with the situation with iPob

You are calling Noriega as if you even know what happened, even though your ignorance is reeking through your post.

Two US soldiers were killed in Panama presumably on the orders of Noriega, but daft miniature mor0ns like you liken Nnamdi Kanu to that scenario

There is no such law in the US mandating a foreigner to answer a court case for crimes
allegedly committed outside the US. The only body with such power is ICC which the US
does not subscribe to. Ipob are just wasting their time and enriching a smart lawyer.
In the US, everything is politics.

Xisnin:
I knew you were an ignorant fellow. US have no jurisdiction over any foreign
leader unless through illegal wars. Now ask if your fellow delusional Ipob have
been promised a war against Nigeria?

The US has never tried nor jailed a foreign leader for alleged crimes in their
home countries. Whenever you think you found one just know that it a case of a loser
in war being punished for resisting invasion or foreign hegemony.

It is even more impossible with the dummy in the whitehouse who would rather commit
suicide than engage in war.

Now go back to google and do more research, just name 1 foreign politician that have ever
been jailed in the US because some delusional group brought a case against them.

NtoAkwaIbom:
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..

Xisnin:
Illiterate dreamer, how many foreigners have ever been jailed by the US?
You guys are so gullible and sentimental.
