This much was disclosed by the Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC) via a petition sent to the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, Madam Amie Bensouda.
According to Sahara Reporters, the group is urging the court to investigate, arrest and prosecute persons connected with the gruesome murders, grievous bodily harm and assault of indigenes of Rivers State during the election.
The petition signed by its chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, showed that the Nigerian government has consistently failed to carry out its constitutional role in fishing out criminals and ensuring that they are adequately punished.
The petition reads:
“The wife of the former president, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, was fingered in misuse of state apparatuses and abuse of power during campaigns, resulting in the wanton killings and infliction of grievous bodily harm on several citizens in Rivers State.
“Journalists on professional assignment were not spared in a wanton destruction of properties, disruption of campaigns and attack on human persons.
“The various criminal acts were perpetrated with the alleged support of Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of the former president. The said onslaught was allegedly coordinated by AIG Mbu Joseph Mbu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police (then Commissioner of Police of Rivers State Command) and Deputy Commissioner of Police John Amadi, now posted to Nigerian Railways Corporation, Lagos (then the Deputy Commissioner of Operations in Rivers State).”
The statement also revealed that over one hundred people were brutally murdered. Some were inflicted with grievous bodily harm while others were unlawfully arrested and detained by the Nigerian Police in collusion with the perpetrators of these crimes.
The group’s list of perpetrators in the criminal acts are Chief Felix Amaechi Obuah, state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Chief Chris Onyiri, Henry Ogiri, executive director finance, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC); Dr Tammy Danagogo, former minster of Sports; Senator Olaka Johnson Nwogu, representing Rivers South East, among others.
The list also includes:
1. Mr. Ejor Ejor of Onne Eleme
2. Betty Apiafi, member, House of Representatives
3. Evans Bipi, member, Rivers State House of Assembly
4. Mashall Uwom, member, Rivers State House of Assembly
5. Mr. Monday Ngbor
6. Major Jack Rowland Sekibo
