International Criminal Court ‘soon to issue warrant for arrest of ex-IGP Solomon Arase’

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that an arrest warrant would soon be issued on Solomon Arase, immediate-past Inspector-General of Police, by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for presiding over brutal killings of unarmed members of the group.

IPOB had on Thursday issued an order urging “Biafrans all over the world including those residing in Nigeria to keep a 24-hour searchlight on the movements of the retired Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Solomon Ehigiator Arase.”

A report this morning by Independent quoted IPOB spokesman Clifford Iroanya as telling the paper on Friday: “Our lawyer at ICC is processing the warrant order. Once that order is obtained, we will publicise it and execute the order wherever Arase is found including Nigeria. If Buhari refuses, he will be joined in the warrant order.”
