ACN Blames Baga Massacre On FG, Calls For ICC’s Intervention

Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, yesterday, blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for the killing of 185 people, mostly women and children, in Baga, Borno State, saying the act constituted crimes against humanity. The party urged the International Criminal Court, ICC, to get involved.


ACN said President Jonathan should be held accountable for failing to distinguish between support for security agencies battling the insurgency in the north and the incitement of the same forces against civilians caught in the cross fire.

ACN, in a statement, called on the National Assembly to investigate how troops from foreign countries became part of the Joint Task Force, JTF, now battling the insurgency in northern Nigeria
