Throwback: IPOB Took Late General Attahiru To Court For Extrajudicial Killings by gidgiddy: 9:10am On May 22, 2021 |
Do you know that the IPOB once took the late COAS, General Ibrahim Attahiru, and 15 others to court for various human rights abuses including extrajudicial murder? General Attahiru, as commander of 82 Division Enugu, and overall commander of 302 Artillery Brigade, Onitsha, supervised the killing, torture and dehumanisation of many unarmed Biafran protesters. The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dragged the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, and 14 other Nigerian officials to a United States of America District Court over alleged complicity in the extra-judicial killings of its members. IPOB alleged that the extra-judicial killings happened during protests over the arrest and detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Those dragged to the US court, aside Buratai and Idris are: Lawal Musa Daura; Ibrahim Attahiru; M.I. Ibrahim; Kasim Umar Sidi; Issah Maigari Abdullahi; former IGP Solomon Arase; Abia and Anambra state governors, Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano; Habila Hosea; Peter Nwagbara; James Oshim Nwafor; Hosea Karma; Bassey Abang and Johnson Babatunde Kokumo. The suit was filed based on two US’ statutes; the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA or ATS – the Alien Tort Statute) and the Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA). Both laws have extra-territorial reach, meaning they allow US federal courts to assert long-arm jurisdiction which extends beyond the borders of US. ATCA provides that ‘the district courts shall have original jurisdiction on any civil action by an alien (foreigner) for a civil wrong committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.’ Since 1980, courts have interpreted this statute to allow foreign citizens to seek remedies in US courts, for human rights violations and for conducts committed outside the US. The TVPA of 1991 is a statute which permits civil suits in the US against foreign individuals who, acting in an official capacity for any foreign nation, committed torture and/or extra-judicial killings. In the suit, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the banned group’s lawyers argued that “the case is convincing. “Beyond the latest processes, and at the ensuing trial, Buratai, Ikpeazu, Obiano and others, will be required to personally appear before the US court to testify under oath and cross-examination that will dwell on the details… Abia and Anambra, according to IPOB, filed a counter-motion to the suit on February 6. https://www.sunnewsonline.com/ipob-drags-army-chief-igp-others-to-us-court/ 2 Likes |

The names of the local military commanders at Onitsha during the time this goner was the GOC 82 Division should also be publicized. That includes the murderous commaders at Aba, Enugu, Orlu and Obigbo! Folks need to be aware of their history before they assume bigger positions in the society. They hide and commit atrocious acts against defenceless folks and before you know it, they're top officers and politicians in the country, maiming, killing and destroying as they bulldoze their gorry ways to the top. Obasanjo and Buhari were like this. War criminals made presidents multiple times by a crooked system. The whole country is rudderless as a result.. 9 Likes |

Simplyleo: What a slimy and treacherous creature you are. All those yorubas that are celebrating his death on Facebook are IPOB too? You come out in the open and you and Fulanis are one but go behind to curse and wish them evil. That's the difference between Igbos and you treacherous creatures, if Igbos don't like you, they will be honest enough to give you the same impression but you two-timers will pretend in their face only to curse them behind. Evil and pretentious people! 6 Likes 1 Share |

All those involved in the killings of our people will die untimely so their families can feel the pains felt by the families of their victims. Buratai's own is coming and Biafra shall be free. We are not after anybody's land or resources. We just want to control our land and develop it as we want. What's the crime in such a cause? 1 Like |

You and all the coward ipork members hiding in overseas have declared war on the ‘zoo’ through your unknown gunmen abi? Your runaway coward leader nnamdi cownu even say he’s coming back to lead that fight against Nigeria. If he comes down for real, I’ll personally fight side by side with him, until then, all your propaganda is stale
