A Nigerian man, Professor Gideon Christian who petitioned
the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate election and
post-election violence in Nigeria against Bayo Onanuga, a spokesperson to
president-elect Bola Tinubu has made more claims.
He alleged new evidence appears to suggest an alleged
involvement of Femi Fani-Kayode and Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo,
in the ethnically motivated violence.
Christian disclosed he would be sending another
communication to the ICC specifically requesting their (Fani-Kayode and MC
Oluomo) investigation and prosecution.
The statement is contained in a post via his Twitter handle
on Monday.
Recall that he had in his petition titled: “Request to
Investigate the Election and Post-Election Violence in Nigeria as well as
Incitement to Ethnic Hate by Mr Bayo Onanuga”, invited the Office of the
prosecutor to investigate a series of ethnically motivated violence resulting
in injuries and death during the recently concluded Nigeria’s presidential and
governorship elections.
The ICC had formally acknowledged the petition.
However, the acclaimed scholar said he had made new findings
leading to the ethnically motivated violence at the last election.
He wrote, “Since my last letter to @IntlCrimCourt evidence
appear to suggest the alleged involvement of @realFFK & MC Oluomo in the
ethnically motivated violence at the last election. I will be sending another
communication to ICC specifically requesting their investigation and
prosecution.”
