ICC should investigate and set up a tribunal for war crimes commited during the Nigerian civil war
After 34 years of Biafra war, those responsible for outrageous crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide are still walking free. No body has been called to account for their roles in the 3 year civil war neither has anybody been compensated for the abuses suffered. It has becomeimportant now to investigate what happened during the civil war as Nigerian is drifting to the same path that led to the war 37 years ago.
If International Criminal Court wants to be seen as unbiased and fair, it must take an action in this regard by setting up a special tribunal as seen in Rwanda, Sierra Lone, Yugoslavia, Lebanon and even Cambodia. the case of Cambodia is particularly relevant as the crimes were committed between 1975 - 1976.
I am writing a formal petition to the chief prosecutor of ICC, Mrs Bensouda but need the support of this online petition as that will reflect the feelings and thoughts of most Nigerians especially of Eastern origin. I urge all well meaning Nigerian to sign this petition. My aim is to get as much as 2 million signatures each representing the innocent people murdered in cold blood during the war.
Lets get this started!

The momentum behind this petition proves that we refuse to let the architects of genocide hide in the shadows any longer. The ICC cannot ignore this growing roar for justice while the ghosts of the past still haunt our nation.

Obasanjo and Gowon did unspeakable things by killing almost 4 million souls and still walking free on the street on Nigeria. All am askinbg is for them to apear before icc court and answer why they killed those innocent souls.
after the nigerian biafra civil war our losts re still they we lost our mothers nd children we lost our men not only to the bombs and bullets but to kwashiokor and the likes we urge the ICC to look into this matter and prosecute the Nigerian government for using all its might and power to kill its citizen
British Government must be held responsible for all this crime against humanity, they coalled it human experiment, which is worst crime against humanity
i signed this petition to get the attention of ICC to look into the genocidal war perpetrated by Nigerian against Biafra from 1966 to 1970
Violence against Biafran civilians, abduction & rape of young girls, bombing civilian targets as well as using starvation of civilians as a weapon of warfare, obviously constitute war crime. ICC should please investigate.
the marauders from the sahara that have been killing biafrans must be told the consequences of their actions by the icc. the hausa/fulani nigeria have occupied the biafra land for too long and musty be made to pay for their evil deeds. icc must prosecute these war criminals who slaughtered over 3million innocent biafrans in coldblood because of the biafran crudeoil.
We want biafra we want biafra we want biafra
