ICC Warns Boko Haram of a Possible Prosecution

Fatou Bensouda
                 

The Prosecutor of The International Criminal Court (ICC) Fatou Bensouda warned Boko Haram of a possible prosecution for their hostilities in Nigeria.
"I am deeply concerned by reports of ongoing large-scale abuses in north-eastern Nigeria. My Office continues to gather information alleging killings of large numbers of civilians, the
use of girls and boys to participate in hostilities, and the massive displacement of communities by the armed group commonly referred to as Boko Haram," the statement by the ICC prosecutor reads.
According to Bensouda, "the most recent attack [ by the Boko Haram group] on the city of Baga and adjacent villages in early January, as well as the reported use of women and children as suicide bombers in attacks on markets in Maiduguri and Potiskum, on 11 and 12 January, mark a further disturbing escalation in the appalling levels of violence."
