Delta Killings: We’ll drag Buhari, others to ICC – BZF group
A pro-Biafra group, Biafra Zionists Federation(BZF), on Wednesday, threatened to drag President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) and Service Chiefs to the International Criminal Court, ICC, over Delta community killings and other killings across the country.
The group spoke in reaction to the reported killing and burying of seven villagers in Delta State community by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Leader of the group, Benjamin Onwuka who addressed a press conference in Enugu on Wednesday, said that the killing of the seven villagers would not be swept under the carpet.
Decrying the level of bloodletting, Onwuka said the group received with shock the gruesome murder of the helpless villagers “and has perfected plans to take the matter to the ICC since the Muhammadu Buhari-led government is paying deaf ears to the atrocious activities of herdsmen.”
He alleged that the killings were no ordinary security issues “but part of the game plan to hand over the Biafra territory to Islam by force.”
“How would one explain that seven persons, including a seven-year-old child, will be murdered in cold blood without any trace?
“The question we are asking is- are these herdsmen spirits? How come they operate at will and none has ever been arrested?
“We want to make it clear that this will not go like other killings in the past; we are taking the case to the ICC where all those involved will be brought to book.
” He, however, reiterated their earlier ultimatum on Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, saying that his government lacked legitimacy.
“We have already communicated the development in Imo State to the United States and actions are being taken. Hope Uzodinma knows that he was not elected by the people, but was imposed on them by the Supreme Court as part of the game plan to foist Islamic agenda on us.
“But, we thank God that the US has taken interest in the matter; so, we are telling Uzodinma to vacate the Imo Government House before March 9.
On that day, I shall be leading Emeka Ihedioha back to the Government House,” he said.
