It is unlikely that the ICC will make any significant response to this. To do so would be “Islamophobic.”
“Leah Sharibu: Christians are being killed in Nigeria – Nnamdi Kanu cries out to ICC, International Communities,” by Fikayo Olowolagba, Daily Post, February 26, 2020:
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has cried out over the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Kanu called on the International Criminal Court, ICC, to take actions against the killing of Christians across Nigeria.
In a series of tweets, the IPOB leader stated that the abduction of Leah Sharibu by Boko Haram, insurgents and attacks on people of the Southeast were examples of killings against Christians.
The IPOB leader urged both ICC and the United States, US, State Department, and international communities to stop such atrocities.
He tweeted: “When will the world take action to stop violence against #Christians in Nigeria?
“The OTP of the @IntlCrimCourt’s preliminary examination of crimes against Christians in #Nigeria including #Biafrans must proceed to a formal investigation.
“The abduction of Leah Sharibu is an example of the countless acts of violence that #Christians across #Nigeria, including #Biafrans, endure daily. @StateDept and the intl community must act to stop these atrocities!…

Thank you for all you do to keep us aware of Islam

Nothing will happen on that complaint, will it? Christians are the victims and that doesn’t matter.

What a hero – and the Nigerian ex-politician who was featured a day or two ago speaking about the Obama Clinton Kerry interference in Nigerian Politics!
The world must hold the Nigerian leadership to account!

Justin Trudeau plans to hop in there – and probably get his hands oily – to help Bufari in the fight against terrorism. What a guy!

they never will, because the elites all hate christianity and want to see it die, and this is their opportunity to help it along towards that goal.

Nigeria: Biafran leader calls on International Criminal Court to take action against jihad killing of Christians
………………..
The US has offered training and aid to the Nigerian government to stop this violence–but the Muslim authorities will do nothing.

Maybe Justin Trudeau plans to act as an intermediary!!

I applaud Nnamdi Kanu.
For over 20 years, between 1,000 and 2,000 Christians have been murdered by Muslims in Nigeria. This is a genocide.
Those responsible are war criminals. The Nigerian national police are complicit and NOT DOING THEIR JOB to apprehend the criminals.
Emeka Chinagorom says
The figures for the past few years (4-5), since the new administration came to power in 2015 is more than 5000 innocent civilians. So please get your figures right . It’s even far worse than negates reported . Remember the killings of the Biafrans whose Faith are predominantly Judeo-Christians have been ongoing since 1940s and exacerbated from the civil war in 1967 to date are overwhelmingly underreported.

Brave, intelligent fellow stating his moral case withe Truth. Back in the 1960’s during the Nigerian Civil War, the UK Government, a Labour one, didn’t back the Biafrans but supported the existing Muslim Government. This lot almost wiped out the Biafran people.
Wonder what the UK Government will do now?

Yes–appalling history.
