The Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, (Nigerian Shiite) has dragged the Nigerian Army to the International Criminal Court of justice, ICC, over allegation of genocide.
The Spokesman of the IMN, Ibrahim Musa made this known at a briefing to mark the 100th day of the clash between the Islamic sect and the Nigeria Army in Zaria last year. Spokesman of the IMN, Ibrahim Musa said the case was filed on behalf of the IMN by the Islamic Human Right Commission, IHRC, Commission based in London.
He quoted the IHRC as writing the ICC as thus: “The crimes committed between December 12th and 14th, 2015 in Zaria, Kaduna State, by the Nigerian army amount to crimes against humanity. The crimes committed by the Nigerian army meet all the necessary legal requirements to warrant a preliminary investigation by the ICC prosecutor.”
