Outgoing governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang is to be dragged before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The leader of the Hausa-Fulani community in Plateau State, Alhaji Danladi Pasali said plans have been concluded to have him answer for genocide.
While addressing newsmen on the victory of governor-elect, Simon Lalong. Pasali said
“Governor Jang has many questions to answer pertaining the killing of innocent persons during the 2008 local government election. Thousands of our people were killed and nothing was done about it. We instituted a case and they sent investigators. We are planning to continue the struggle and ensure that justice is done in the matter. The era of tyranny in Plateau is over and people of the state are happy.
“Plateau people have emancipated themselves from mis-rule and divisive government run by Governor Jonah Jang. The people expressed their grievance through the ballot box. We have over 50 different ethnic groups, but Governor Jang singled out his own tribe. He singled out his family to continue to rule the state but people of the state rejected the idea of enslavement”.
