Nigeria: Zaki-Ibiam Genocide - Waku Drags OBJ To ICJ
Senator Joseph Kennedy Waku has dragged former President Olusegun Obasanjo before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the 2001 massacre of Tiv in UKUM and Katsina Ala local Government Areas.
Addressing a meeting in his Benue North Senatorial District of Benue State over the weekend , the former Senator informed his kinsmen that a list of charges against the former president had been prepared and filed at the International Court at The Hague
One of such charges the former lawmaker said, is the genocide in Tivland at the alleged instance of the former president, as he vowed to make sure that Obasanjo is jailed.
It could be recalled that in October 2001, a group of rampaging Nigerian troops acting on orders from the presidency invaded Tiv villages killing people including women and children, a conflict which observers said also displaced thousands of Tiv people from their lands.
The occasion was also organized by Mzough U Tiv in the United Kingdom and their well-wishers to commemorate the death of those Tiv people during the crisis including their families.
