Falana seeks prosecution of buratai others over zaria massacre

It appears that Falana, a Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, is seeking the prosecution of General Buratai and others over the Zaria massacre.

For those who may not be aware, the Zaria massacre refers to the killing of hundreds of Shia Muslims by the Nigerian Army in December 2015 in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The incident was widely condemned by human rights groups and the international community.

Falana, who is known for his advocacy for human rights and justice, has been pushing for the prosecution of those responsible for the massacre. In a recent statement, he called for the prosecution of General Buratai, the former Chief of Army Staff, and other military officers involved in the massacre.

Falana's call for prosecution is based on the fact that the Nigerian Army's actions during the massacre were illegal and unconstitutional. He argues that the army's use of excessive force and killing of unarmed civilians was a violation of their fundamental human rights.

Falana has also accused the Nigerian government of covering up the massacre and failing to hold those responsible accountable. He has called for an independent investigation into the incident and for those found guilty to be prosecuted.

It's worth noting that the Zaria massacre is not the only human rights violation that has been committed by the Nigerian military. There have been numerous reports of human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings by the military in various parts of the country.

Falana's call for prosecution is a step in the right direction towards holding those responsible for human rights violations accountable and promoting justice and accountability in Nigeria.
