Petition for President Buhari to be charged before the ICC for crimes against humanity
Today in Lagos Nigeria, the Nigerian Army started shooting peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate. This is the latest in a long series of human rights abuses in Nigeria and as the Head of State of Nigeria President Mohammadu Buhari should be held directly responsible for this heinous crime against humanity. Under no circumstances should civilians be shot by soldiers in a civilised world and the perpetrators including the Army Chief of Staff General Buratai, should be brought to justice.
Nigerians who were protesting against Police brutality and bad governance were shot at by men believed to be Nigerian soldiers, at Lekki Toll Gate.
Few were reportedly killed while many sustained various degrees of injury. From the video clips circulating over on social media, Nigerian youths were seen singing ‘Nigeria’s National Anthem’, when soldiers opened fire on them.
