Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that retired service chiefs may not escape prosecution if they actually committed some sort of crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

Ex-service chiefs, Gen Abayomi G. Olonisakin (Rtd ), Lt Gen Tukur Y. Buratai (Rtd), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Rtd), and Air Vice Marshal Mohammed S. Usman (Rtd), resigned their position as the country\u2019s security heads last week.<\/p>\n

However, President Muhammadu Buhari immediately nominated the Service Chiefs as non-career ambassadors.<\/p>\n

And this has generated a lot of controversies around the country, as many people feel that the nomination was to help the ex-service chiefs escape judgement at the International Criminal Court, ICC.<\/p>\n

But in a reaction, the Presidency had said the ex-service chiefs were nominated for ambassadorial positions by Buhari as a reward for hard work and patriotic service to the nation.<\/p>\n

And in tweet on Saturday, Nnamdi Kanu said that the United States of America has a law that would not allow the ex-service chiefs go scot free.<\/p>\n

\nThe Torture Vuctim Protection Act is a US Law that permits suits in the United States against FOREIGN individuals who, acting in an official capacity, committed torture or extrajudicial killing of their citizens.
