Amnesty fooools please go n take united States military to court over all the atrocities they committed in Guantanamo base for over 12 years...

Rubbish.

This holds no water. I can make an A list of more deserving Nigerians. Some of those Men on this list ought to be celebrated cos they gave their best based on informations and resources available.

let them drag Boko Haram to ICC or ISIS AT THAT SINCE THEY ARE SO JOBLESS

Ihejirika should go and clear himself in IC if truly know he's innocent, prosecution is not a conviction.

Obadiah77:
Jonathan should be invluded

What about Buhari?

Is this how Buhari intends to rule? God have mercy


SELF DETERMINATION IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD FOR MINORITIES IN THIS JOKE CALLED nigeria!

fashrola:

And why are USA soldiers & generals immune to ICC?

Anyway Nigerian Armed Forces should do whatever it takes to end Boko Haram.


We cannot spend hundred years using money that ought be used for developmental projects to fund war in North East.

From the full report here is the list of named officials that the AI has dragged to the International Criminal Court with "substantial" evidence:

until he retired in January 2014.

Admiral Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim. He was Chief of Defence Staff from 4 October 2012 until
16 January 2014.

Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh. He was Chief of Defence Staff from 16 January 2014
to the time of writing.

Lt. General Ken Minimah. He was Chief of Army Staff from 16 January 2014 to the

Executive Summary

In the course of security operations against Boko Haram in north-east Nigeria, Nigerian
military forces have extrajudicially executed more than 1,200 people; they have arbitrarily
arrested at least 20,0001 people, mostly young men and boys; and have committed countless
acts of torture. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Nigerians have become victims of enforced
disappearance; and at least 7,000 people have died in military detention as a result of
starvation, extreme overcrowding and denial of medical assistance.

Amnesty International has concluded that these acts, committed in the context of a noninternational
armed conflict, constitute war crimes for which military commanders bear both
individual and command responsibility, and may amount to crimes against humanity.
Specifically, Amnesty International names five high-ranking military officials who were in
charge of operations in north-east Nigeria from 2012 to date, as well as two Chiefs of Army
Staff and two Chiefs of Defence Staff, who should be investigated for potential individual and
command responsibility for these crimes. Amnesty International has handed over the names
of these officers, as well as other officers not named in this report, and related evidence to
the International Criminal Court.

This report is based on more than 412 interviews with victims, their relatives, eyewitnesses,
human rights activists, doctors, journalists, lawyers and military sources. Amnesty
International also analysed more than 90 videos and numerous photographs showing
members of the security forces and their allied militia, the Civilian Joint Task Force,
committing violations.

Amnesty International independently interviewed eight military sources, and examined more
than 800 official documents, including military reports and other correspondence between
military units based in the north-east and Defence Headquarters.
Amnesty International shared its findings with the Nigerian authorities during dozens of
meeting as well as 55 written submissions, requesting information and specific action to
address the violations. Government responses are reflected in relevant sections of this report.

the popular saying "there is no smoke without fire" isn't wrong and i think that applies here,these men really know "something" about all these claims from AI,but the irony is this:why did they wait so long before launching these claims

Nigerians of all classes must start to embrace and adopt international best practices in all we do in order to avoid some of these embarassments from around the world.

U shld be dragged to north korea for space booking Nonsense

Ihejirika D Igbo General




Where is blacktechnology

ola sa'ad Ibrahim is also an Igbo general.

amnesty international should have taken Bush to ICC too, the sad thing is that these people love to play on African's gullibility to their advantage.

first he was sponsoring, now he over-fought them and should be probed for over-zealous killing by his soldiers.

the soldiers you see out there a humans like us too, when they see a dead colleague, you think they will be in the mood to arrest some gun toting boko boy?

another point is that the boko boys are underage, now tell me, will you refuse to shoot a young man determined to kill you just because he is 17y/o?

lastly, the Nigerian army will film themselves shooting unarmed captured people, then go ahead a distribute the same video, is that not stupidity?

International standards set by the US like war mongering, aiding governments to topple leaders, supplying arms to Islamist and people becoming the collateral damage,.international best practices when it only favours your side then spout hypocrisy ...Nigeria should adopt Russian and China policies, arm itself to the tilt,become independent and stay out of unnecessary conflict.

Oildichotomy:

They succeeded in Sep Blatter and they using Amnesty for Nigeria military officers .
We better start severing ties with this bunch of imperialists

Dude cut it out,Blatter is a CORRUPT fellow!make use of your internet!

Loads of rubbish, should they have allowed boko haram a free hand to run around killing innocent Nigerians?

cocoduck:

thunder fire you

u first chest-beater

Let be truthful to ourselves,the killings where extra judicial. We watched it on our phones where men of the military were randomly picking male children from families,took them to the street and get shot.. A voice even said 'I want the heart,give me the heart',even a guy on crutches was laid and shot. Very barbaric and unprofessional act from the military. But the ICC should be carefull coz some Nigerians are against the truth.

Nigeria: Stars on their shoulders. Blood on their hands: War crimes committed by the Nigerian military

By Amnesty International, 3 June 2015, Index number: AFR 44/1657/2015


In the course of security operations against Boko Haram in north-east Nigeria, Nigerian military forces have extrajudicially executed more than 1,200 people; they have arbitrarily arrested at least 20,000 people, mostly young men and boys; and have committed countless acts of torture.

........................................................................................................................................................................................................


the above is a snippet from the the AI website, they are angry with the NA for the above mentioned while they are not on ground to witness the events that led to the said actions and who in particular was arrested.


i guess it would have been ok to kill boko if it were "international armed conflict"......like in iraq?

rigarmortis:



can you point out a direct accusation that directly indicts any of these men?

Aha....i've been waiting for this!now let me ask you,do you think all these claims are targeted at these men for cheap blackmail?...NO,i can tell you that AI didn't just makeup these claims and impose it on them....they really know "something"...there isn't "much ado about nothing"....if they think they're clean,they shoud present themselves before ICC and get vindicated!

ehie:

Nigerians must begin to speak and write from the position of knowledge , not of ignorance .

ok no problem.

but since you support the move, list out one thing they are indicted for?.....lets start from there.

the no smoke without fire statement is ambiguous and you cant hang a clue for murder.

Wonderful!!! So the blood of innocent fellow maybe revenged..watchin..thou

The West is at again, destroying our military morale while secretly supporting and Aiding Boko Haram,AI refused to see massive crimes being committed by Boko haram: Bombing,killing,kidnapping and pregnanting under aged, forceful conversion....., all these are crime against humanity but they ain't seing it, knowing that our military securing the populace is a CAUSE and EFFECT stuff, they refused to address the Cause but are more concern about EFFECT.
Well ,if the Black nations would be more Deceived by the West while conspire by insider to perpetrate their ulterior motive of disintegrating Nigeria.
Question for so called Amnesty International,
where were they all is this while,
Are they saying its normal when Boko haram kill but not normal when NA kill Boko haram boys?
