An Igbo group, Alaigbo
Development Foundation (ADF) is set to drag President Muhammadu Buhari, Chief
of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai and other persons involved in Operation
Python Dance II, in the South East, to the International Criminal Court (ICC),
at The Hague.
The group alleged that the
military exercise in the region was ethnic cleansing.
ADF President, Prof. Uzodinma
Nwala who disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja, yesterday, said
the group was working assiduously, to present an impeccable petition with facts
and figures.
“During our visit to the United
States of America, we visited the US Congress, and many other places and we
gave them a petition, and alerted them that forces were mobilising to decimate
Ndigbo; in fact, that another pogrom was in the making.
“Our people abroad are working
hard. The petitions are virtually ready and, in our own case, we want to make
sure everything is tidied up.
“We are documenting every case,
this is not an emotional burden to ADF; it is a highly, intellectual burden.
The documents are getting ready to prosecute these things.
“The petitions have gone out,
including to the ICC on the invasion. As the invasion was going on, documentations
were being made, including the videos forwarded to them. We are virtually ready
to present the case on the issue of ethnic cleansing,” Nwala stated.
On IPOB’s proscription by the
federal government, Nwala said the body would meet this week, to address the
issue, even as he described the action as illegal.
“Again, it is a nullity, even if
they start arresting everybody because of IPOB; how many will they arrest? IPOB
can change its name to IPOD or any other thing.
“It is a movement of a people and
not an association you can register and later, you say you do not want to
register,” he added.
