International Criminal Court Replies Nnamdi Kanu’s US Lawyer, Bruce Fein, Over Suit Against Federal Govt

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has reached out to Bruce Fein, the United States counsel to the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, over his suit filed against the Federal Government of Nigeria.

ICC notified Fein that his suit is “substantiated by probable cause.”

The US lawyer made this known on Monday on his Twitter handle about the suit he filed against the Nigerian government, including Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja and Justice John Tosho, the Chief Judge of the FHC before the ICC.

On his handle, @BruceFeinEsq, Fein said he had obtained a notice from Karim Asad Ahmad Khan, the (ICC) Prosecutor, which said his complaints “are substantiated by probable cause.”

His tweet read, “June 10, I received notice from the Chief Prosecutor (CP) of the ICC that my genocide-crimes against humanity complaints against AG Malami, Judge Nyako, and CJ Tosho are substantiated by probable cause. Further CP investigation after 3-judge vetting. Justice cannot be outfoxed,”

Fein had earlier filed a criminal complaint against three legal authority for conspiring with President Muhammadu Buhari and Kenya President, Uhuru Kenyatta, “to commit crimes against humanity” vis-à-vis his client’s re-arrest in the East African country in 2021 and subsequent transfer to Nigeria, through extraordinary rendition.
