ABUJA – The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, yesterday threatened with international litigation any politician found causing trouble during the general elections.
Executive Secretary of the commission, Mr. Roland Ewubare, who disclosed this at a briefing in Abuja, also said the NHRC would deploy 370 trained observers to monitor the election across the federation.
He said the commission had concluded an arrangement with prosecutors at the International Court of Justice, ICJ, in The Hague to beam the searchlight on politicians who are out to make the election a do-or-die affair.
He said: “I am not even going to wait for a police report or any investigation to come out, the observers we have in the field are enough, the report I get from them I’ll transmit undiluted directly to the Hague.
“You become a global criminal for all eyes to be on you and we will now institute other measures locally against you.”
