The Good Governance Advocacy Project, a Civil Society Organization has called on the United Nations and International Criminal Court, ICC, to iprosecute former President, Olusegun Obasanjo and former Minister of Defence, TY Danjuma, for the massacres that took place in Zaki Biam and Odi community.
The call was made on Tuesday by Patriot Danelson Momoh, National President of the group.
He recalled that it was Dajuma’s regime as Defence Minister under the then President Olusegun Obasanjo that troops massacred innocent citizens of Zaki Biam community in Benue State
Acccording to him, Obasanjo and Danjuma should handover themselves to the ICC over the massacre of defenceless citizens in their communities.
He said, “Of note among these yesteryears’ men is former military chief, retired General Theophilus Yakubu (TY) Danjuma who of late has become synonymous with being an inciter of adherents of Christianity in the country to go to war with their neighbours under the guise of ethno-religious killings.
“He had in the past called on people to take up arms against their neighbours for which he was roundly censored by all well-meaning Nigerians. This does not however seem to have deterred him as he is back to lying bald-facedly.
“TY Danjuma purportedly issued a statement entitled “Choose your own Fulani with care,” in which he alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is out to massacre the entire north central and southern parts of the so that he can repopulate the same areas with Fulani from other West African countries.
‘While this irresponsible statement is condemnable in the strongest terms, the seeming saving grace is that Danjuma has eaten his words and distance himself from the dangerous utterance.
