Sowore Calls for Prosecution of IBB on 85th Birthday
Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), asserted that it is not too late to arrest and prosecute Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, the former military Head of State, for crimes committed during his military dictatorship. Sowore made this statement on his verified X handle on Thursday, coinciding with Babangida's 85th birthday celebration.
He referenced the case of Augusto Pinochet, the former dictator of Chile, who faced legal proceedings in his 80s, arguing that age should not exempt anyone from accountability. Sowore emphasized that the unresolved issues of killings, abuses, corruption, and other serious violations associated with Babangida's regime warrant thorough investigation and potential prosecution if evidence supports such actions.
He stated, "His age should not confer immunity from justice.".
