Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has cried out over the killing of Christians in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Kanu called on the International Criminal Court, ICC, to take actions against the killing of Christians across Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, the IPOB leader stated that the abduction of Leah Sharibu by Boko Haram, insurgents and attacks on people of the Southeast were examples of killings against Christians.<\/p>\n

The IPOB leader urged both ICC and the United States, US, State Department, and international communities to stop such atrocities.<\/p>\n

He tweeted: \u201cWhen will the world take action to stop violence against #Christians in Nigeria?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OTP of the @IntlCrimCourt\u2019s preliminary examination of crimes against Christians in #Nigeria including #Biafrans must proceed to a formal investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe abduction of Leah Sharibu is an example of the countless acts of violence that #Christians across #Nigeria, including #Biafrans, endure daily. @StateDept and the intl community must act to stop these atrocities!<\/p>\n

Boko Haram had in February 2018 abducted Leah and some students from Government Girls\u2019 Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Bursari Local Government Area of Yobe State.<\/p>\n

Since their abduction, the terrorists have released some of the girls while holding unto Leah for refusing to renounce her fate as a Christian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
