Bruce Fein, the American counsel for the detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday confirmed that he has filed a criminal complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Abubakar Malami, Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice of Nigeria; and Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Fein, he is charging both legal practitioners with conspiring with President Muhammadu Buhari and Kenya President, Uhuru Kenyatta, “to commit crimes against humanity”.
Kanu is due to return to a court in Abuja on Friday.
The Nigerian-British has been charged with “terrorism”, treason and perpetuating falsehoods against President Buhari, mainly through broadcasts on the controversial Radio Biafra outlet and also through social media. He had pleaded not guilty.
After spending two years in detention, Kanu disappeared in April 2017 while on bail. His followers blamed the Nigerian authorities but he mysteriously surfaced in Israel more than a year later.
Last June, Kanu was arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.
“Today, I filed a criminal complaint with the International Court of Justice against Nigerian Attorney General Malami and Federal High Court Justice Nyako charging them with conspiring with Nigerian President Buhari and Kenyan President Kenyatta to commit crimes against humanity,” Fein updated on his known Twitter handle.
IT IS HIGH TIME THIS IDLE INTERLOPER LOAFER GET IT FROM THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT. ICC FOR AN INDIVIDUAL. OBVIOUSLY NOT A LAWYER.
He should go back to the US and file complaint against the ILLEGITIMATE government in his country, the US. The ROGUE government from a RIGGED election. The 2020 presidential election in America. He can go busy himself with that and stop MESSING NOSING around. He is not even a member our NBA, Nigerian bar.
DEPORT the idiot now. He is overplaying his hands in the Nigerian SECURITY matters, overstayed his welcome and has become a nuisance.
