The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) on Monday threatened to drag the Federal Government of Nigeria and the five governors in the South-East geopolitical zone to the International Criminal Court in The Hague Netherlands over the rising killings and kidnappings in the zone.
HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement, described the incidents in Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Abia as “crimes against humanity” which according to him, should be stopped forthwith.
The group said both federal and state governments are duty-bound to protect Nigerian citizens and should not be exposed to insecurity as prevalent in the South-East in the last two years.
Recall that gunmen on Sunday kidnapped four reverend sisters of the Catholic church along the dreaded Okigwe-Enugu Road in Imo State whilst on their way for morning mass.
