Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest: MASSOB to drag Nigerian Government to ICC

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), on Sunday, revealed plans to drag the Nigerian Government to the International Criminal Court, ICC, over the arrest of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

It also said the only solution to Nigeria’s political and ethnic crises was to conduct a referendum, which would allow the indigenous peoples to decide if they wanted to remain in Nigeria or not.

MASSOB, in a statement by its National Director of Information, Edeson Samuel, disclosed that its legal team had finalised plans to drag the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government before the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, Netherland.

The pro-Biafra group called on the United Nations, African Union, United States of America, the G-8 nations and the international human rights organisations to save the indigenous people of Biafra from political annihilation by sanctioning Nigeria for her human rights abuses and the terrorist activities of the Fulani reportedly backed by Buhari’s Government.

It said the atrocious acts of the Nigerian government had led to the killings, unlawful arrest, abductions, torture and detentions of innocent Biafra agitators.

MASSOB warned that nothing harmful should happen to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafra/Oduduwa freedom agitators that were allegedly being held, tortured, starved and denied medical attentions.
