Your Excellency, Donald J. Trump
President, United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500
United States of America.
Dear Mr. President.
Please call President Buhari to order, the warning signs are flashing bright red
The above refers
Please permit me, as a matter of rudeness to interrupt your rather hectic and busy schedule with this very important request on behalf of the country Nigeria. It is a disheartening exposition on both Nigeria and international peace and security.
Popular wisdom counsels that it takes the failure or the unwillingness or inaction of good people to act for evil men and geniuses to take over and run a country. As the leader of the free world, the United States is called upon, in this instance, to act, not only in defense of seemingly helpless Nigerians but to mitigate the threats to humanity and international peace and security posed by the conduct of President Buhari. President Buhari has gone rogue.
Under the Rome Treaty, which established the International Criminal Court, the Court has the mandate:
to examine the conduct during the conflict, but not whether the decision to engage in armed conflict was legal” and that the court’s jurisdiction is limited to the actions of nationals of states parties;
The Court is designed to complement existing national judicial systems. It can exercise its jurisdiction only if national courts are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute. State parties are expected to implement national legislation to provide for the investigation and prosecution of crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the Court, and that the underlying principle for the Court’s activities is that of universal jurisdiction; the world has jurisdiction over the conduct of nationals and state parties during a conflict.
To date ,several instances of the crimes indicated below had been carried out and continue to be carried on unabated by the Buhari administration:
crimes against humanity of murder, enslavement, sexual enslavement, rape and causing serious bodily injury;
war crimes of murder, cruel treatment of civilians,attacking civilians, pillage, inducing rape and enlisting child soldiers, cruel treatment of civilians, attacking civilians and pillage survivors were imprisoned in a room filled with corpses, women and girls were sexually enslaved.
It will interest you to note the following conclusions of the U.S. annual report on global human rights violations, released in Washington D.C last year.
“The administration of President Buhari “Took steps to investigate alleged abuses, but fewer steps to prosecute officials who committed violations, whether in the security forces or elsewhere in the government.
“Impunity remained widespread at all levels of government. The government did not adequately investigate or prosecute most of the major outstanding allegations of human rights violations by the security forces or the majority of cases of police or military extortion or other abuse of power.”
“Most significant human rights issues included extrajudicial and arbitrary killings; disappearances and arbitrary detentions; torture, particularly in detention facilities, including sexual exploitation and abuse; use of children by some security elements, looting, and destruction of property.
There were also civilian detentions in military facilities, often based on flimsy evidence; denial of fair public trial; executive influence on the judiciary; infringement on citizens’ privacy rights; restrictions on freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and movement
“This was in addition to official corruption; lack of accountability in cases involving violence against women and children, including female genital mutilation/cutting and sexual exploitation of children; trafficking in persons; early and forced marriages; criminalization of status and same-sex sexual conduct based on sexual orientation and gender identity; and forced and bonded labor.”
Mr. President, the report also recognized that the Boko Haram Islamic terror group also carried out myriads of human rights violations, killing and torturing and imprisoning women and children and bombing entire villages.
The groups conducted numerous attacks on government and civilian targets that resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, widespread destruction, the internal displacement of approximately 1.8 million persons, and external displacement of an estimated 205,000 Nigerian refugees to neighboring countries, principally Cameroon, Chad, and Niger,” the report said.
Boko Haram’s numerous attacks often targeted civilians. The group, which recruited and forcefully conscripted child soldiers, carried out scores of suicide bombings–many by young women and girls forced into doing so–and other attacks on population centers in the Northeast and in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger.
Abductions by Boko Haram continued. The group subjected many abducted women and girls to sexual and gender-based violence, including forced marriages and rape. The government investigated attacks by Boko Haram and ISIS-WA and took some steps to prosecute their members, although the majority of suspected insurgent group supporters were held in military custody without charge,
In its response to Boko Haram and ISIS-WA attacks, and at times in response to crime and insecurity in general, security service personnel perpetrated extrajudicial killings and engaged in torture, sexual exploitation and abuse, arbitrary detention, mistreatment of detainees, use of children by some security elements, looting, and destruction of property. The country also suffered from ethnic, regional, and religious violence” the report added.
Your Excellency, President Buhari, by his utterances, actions and inactions, underscored in the report, has given and continues to give succor to terrorists, terrorist organizations, criminals and their ilk around the country thereby making himself eligible for criminal conduct under the principle of universal jurisdiction. Here are some of his incendiary statements:
“I can die for the cause of Islam if necessary. We are prepared to fight another civil war. We cannot be blackmailed into killing Sharia.”

(Freedom House, 2000)
Why should Christians be concerned when Muslim cut off their limbs? After all, the limbs that are being cut off are Muslim ones and not Christian. So why should Christians bother about it?

When the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar’adua. An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north, members of the sect were killed.

Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam. We are more than the Christians if you add our Muslim brothers in the West.

If There Is a repeat of the Civil War again, I will kill more Igbos to save the country.”
Muhammadu Buhari
(BBC Hausa Service, 2015)
I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”
Muhammadu Buhari
(News24, August 27, 2001)
Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi ,the head of the Diocese of Jos, said : “Nigeria is being described as the largest killing ground for Christians in the world today.
We have been pushed to the wall. It is in the interest of the international community to act now before they have another Sudan or Rwanda on their hands. We trust you and believe that you are the best person to lead the international efforts. You are the leader of the civilized world. We do not want to ply the CAR road . Please help us.
Mr. President, we need your help to secure the release of Mr. Sowore from detention. Mr. Sowore is a US person and Court has ruled that he be released but Mr. Buhari has refused to release him from detention. We also fear he may be poisoned. This is the path that the ruthless regime takes. We are hearing from grapevine that the judge who made the ruling may be reported to Nigeria Judicial Commission for punishment.
On Sowore, all it takes is your interest. We are all earnestly waiting for you.You did it with A$AP Rocky in Sweden when all hopes were lost. We believe and trust you will do the same with Sowore.
Sir, let me conclude with a comment from your esteemed self.
We are deeply concerned by religious violence in Nigeria including the burning of churches and the killing and persecution of Christians. It’s a horrible story.
We look forward to hearing from you through your actions, Sir.
