Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has revealed that some of Nigeria’s ex-service chief would not escape prosecution if they have committed crimes while in service.
Nigeria security chiefs, Gen Abayomi G. Olonisakin (Rtd ), Lt Gen Tukur Y. Buratai (Rtd), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Rtd), and Air Vice Marshal Mohammed S. Usman (Rtd) all resigned their position last week.
President Muhammadu Buhari, immediately after their resignation, nominated them as non-career ambassadors.
Some Nigerians think that the appointment was an attempt by the President to help the ex-service chief escape prosecution and judgment at the International Criminal Court, ICC.
Negating the afore speculations, the Presidency argues that the ex-service chief’s ambassadorial position was a reward for hard and unflinching service to the nation.
In a recent tweet on Saturday, Nnamdi Kanu said the United States of America has a law that would allow the ex-service chief to go free if they’ve violated the law while in service.
