Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has declared that retired service chiefs may not escape prosecution if
they actually committed some sort of crimes against humanity.
Ex-service chiefs, Gen Abayomi G. Olonisakin (Rtd ), Lt Gen
Tukur Y. Buratai (Rtd), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd), Air Marshal Sadique
Abubakar (Rtd), and Air Vice Marshal Mohammed S. Usman (Rtd), resigned their
position as the country’s security heads last week.
However, President Muhammadu Buhari immediately nominated
the Service Chiefs as non-career ambassadors.
And this has generated a lot of controversies around the country,
as many people feel that the nomination was to help the ex-service chiefs
escape judgement at the International Criminal Court, ICC.
But in a reaction, the Presidency had said the ex-service
chiefs were nominated for ambassadorial positions by Buhari as a reward for
hard work and patriotic service to the nation.
And in tweet on Saturday, Nnamdi Kanu said that the United
States of America has a law that would not allow the ex-service chiefs go scot
free.
“Rtd #Nigerian Service Chiefs:
The Torture Vuctim Protection Act is a US Law that permits
suits in the United States against FOREIGN individuals who, acting in an
official capacity, committed torture or extrajudicial killing of their
citizens. If you committed, get ready to rumble,” he wrote.
