Northern Group to International Criminal Court: Prosecute Buhari for 2011 political killings “The Northern Coalition for Democracy and Justice [NCDJ]“, on Monday asked the international Criminal Court [ICC] to bring charges against APC Presidential candidtate, Muhammadu Buhari for post-election violence in 2011. NCDJ said Buhari should face justice over the violence, which claimed 800 people’s lives and destroyed many churches and schools. According to Nigerian Tribune, the human rights group had previously referred Buhari to the ICC in 2011, but said it decided to submit more evidence after the former military ruler emerged as the main candidate in 2015 elections. “We have a lot of very strong evidences we are submitting to the prosecutor,” said Goran Sluiter, a Dutch law professor acting for the NCDJ, adding he wanted to ensure Buhari did not escape justice by winning political office.” All Progressives Congress (APC) frontman, Lai Mohammed denied the claims, he said; “They will not stop at anything to try to derail Buhari,” said the party’s spokesman, Lai Mohammed.“I can see the hands of the government behind it” Source: scannews
