TRACKING >President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja said that Nigeria will continue to support the International Criminal Court (ICC) as much as possible to enable it fulfil its mandate.
Receiving the Nigerian-born President of the ICC, Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji at the State House, President Buhari appealed to developed countries to take the ICC “more seriously in order to strengthen the rule of law and democracy.”
Buhari, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said “The ICC provides a moral strength for victims to receive justice against internal and external injustice.”
