DanseMacabre:
But I don't understand. Will he be repatriated to face trial, or will the trial be in absentia?

And if he's found guilty, will he be repatriated to serve punishment, or will it be here in Nigeria?

NLandIsHypocrit:
This time it won't be business as usual, already there's enough evidence on ground so is not the question of I didn't do it, or I'm not aware. Buratai thought he would have been the super hero the moment he kills innocent, armless and law abiding IPOB members for hate and frivolous reasons. We hope that Justice will surely prevail because those killed are more humans than their killers. Even Justice fails to come through this Chanel, one thing is undisputable, all those who participated in the killings of innocent IPOB members either directly or indirectly must surely pay a heavy price, anyone of them who escaped the physical nets will never escape the spiritual nets.

Maybe they forgot their juju when ICJ ruled in favour of Cameroon over Bakassi peninsula

These monkeys are always embarrassing themselves! No U.S court has jurisdiction over matters such as these as long as it did not happen on U.S soil and does not involve U.S citizens, I could understand International Criminal Court but a U.S district court, pathetic!

Homeboiy:
let me soak my chaplet in hot water


I pray buratai goes down

fineboynl:
the united state can declared him wanted. that means if Nigeria refuse to hand over him to the USA Nigeria will face problem with international relationship. and he will not be able to travel out to any country outside Nigeria if he is wanted. the charges if documentation is valid is international crimes.

Hizzy:

but the court accepted to handle the case so what ar u sayin

Alariwo2:
See them.. mumu people spilling trash on the thread

Buratai can kill as many terrorists as he likes.. It's his constitutional duty. The day these Biafrans understand that their movement is unlawful is when their eyes will clear

BTW US will have to defend her military action in Syria and other war torn countries first before they can query our armed forces and their actions.
Nonsense!

Tkester:



Bro don't swear on it. The international recognition is mind boggling. What IPoB is doing is a modern way of freedom fighting. Imagine if the court finds brutai guilty of mass murder, do you actually know the damage it will have on Nigeria? In fact the US/Nigeria relationship will go into limbo and Biafra would gain a lot of sympathies just as they are having now all over the world.

chuksanambra:
Okay, my people have added Buratai to the fight. I hope that when the Hausas start dealing with those ones in the north, they won't call Buratai to epp them.

Let them call Fayose and Fani Kayodo as the Commanders in Chief of the Biafran forces.

Hizzy:

but the court accepted to handle the case so what ar u sayin

excanny:
Does this court has the jurisdiction to try human rights abuse?

This should be better filed at the International Court of Justice.

Akissani:
Mtcheew......y are people still talking about biafra na? Just pack ur things and leave our land before we chase u

ernieboy:

u people should shut up. Nigeria is a sovereign state not under the jurisdiction of another state. this is just the futile effort of a desperate and dying campaign.

best reply of the year.


Seunmsg give this bobo small bottle of orijin.

Tkester:
Things are gradually escalating... I blame buhari for all these.

Once foreigners most especially westerners start getting involved in biafran issues then know it is a game over for Nigeria. This is because a lot of mercenaries will bring investment into it and will ultimately want to reap from it.

ernieboy:

the ICJ only had jurisdiction because Nigeria is a signatory to its charter, any country can withdraw from its jurisdiction and it cannot enforce its decision on those states.

amaechi2020:
A United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia has granted leave to 10 Biafran plaintiffs to sue Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and 13 others for complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings under colour of Nigeria law to retaliate for peaceful Biafran protests against ethnic or religious oppression.

Brought under the Torture Victims Protection Act and Alien Tort Claims Act Complaint, the plaintiffs are seeking millions of dollars as damages to compensate for their grievous losses and suffering.

The suit, John Doe, et al vs. Tukur Yusuf Buratai et al, with Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-01033, has been assigned to United States District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle, who was appointed by President William Jefferson Clinton.
The court further ruled that the “plaintiffs alleged that identifying plaintiffs or decedents would expose them, their families and relatives to an intolerable risk of death or serious bodily injury at the hands of defendants or the Government of Nigeria.”

Counsel to the plaintiffs, Attorney Bruce Fein of Fein & DelValle PLLC, and W. Bruce DelValle, said, among others: “This landmark lawsuit is about justice and the rule of law coming to rescue Igbo, Biafrans and their political supporters who are persecuted, because of their Christian religion, ethnicity and political viewpoints since Nigeria’s independence from its colonial master Great Britain in October 1960.”

IbnSultaan:
Waste of time

FiguratvelySpkn:


Dead on arrival. Will be thrown out for lack of Jurisdiction. Plaintiffs won't be able to prove harm or persecution at the hands of the Government. They won't be able to prove that their situation is not "normal" in a Nigerian society and so on and so on.

Just another well paid day for the law offices of Attorney Bruce Fein of Fein & DelValle PLLC, and W. Bruce DelValle.

Idiocy at its finest.
