Lekki tollgate massacre: Sara Igbe calls for urgent action

A Niger Delta Activist, former Spokesman  of Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF and Coordinator South South Elders Forum , His Highness Anabs Sara-Igbe has condemned the killing of innocent citizens who are protesting against Police brutality and extortion in Nigeria. Calling on relevant international anfd National agencies to urgently intervene to curb the spate of violent attacks on innocent protesters, Sara-Igbe, said: stand with the Nigerian Youths and indeed all those who are calling for an end to SARS in whatever form and disguise, and justice for all the victims of Police brutality, Kidnapping and extortion in Nigeria and a call on government for the reformation of the Nigerian Police.

I call on International Criminal Court(ICC) to hold the Governor of Lagos State Mr Jide Sanwoolu, the Commander of the Nigerian Army in Lagos, the Chief of Army Staff and General Mohammadu Buhari the  President and Commander- in- Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria accountable for using the Military in killing innocent citizens at the Lekki Toll Gate In Victoria Island Lagos on the 20th day of October, 2020, for protesting against the murderous activities of SARS,  Police brutality, extortion & corruption in Nigeria. The actions of the government are contrary to the African Charter and the United Nations Charter on Human Rights. It’s indeed a genocide and a sin against humanity. This will be one of the test cases for the International Criminal Court (ICC)I also call on ECOWAS, African Union (AU), European Union, United Kingdom, USA and the United Nations to quickly intervene in the ongoing crisis in Nigeria before it generates in to a full-blown conflict.I challenge the Olumide Akpata- led Nigerian Bar Association to press  for a case of genocide and human right abuse in the International Criminal Court.
