Bauchi (IP) - A prominent human rights lawyer in Nigeria, Barrister Hussaini Saraki has called on the African countries to arrest Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and his former War Minister, Yoav Gallant as soon as they set their foots in the continent.

Iran PressAfrica: Barrister Hassan Sulaiman Saraki who is also the Permanent Commissioner to Bauchi State Government of Northeastern Nigeria made an exclusive interview with Iran Press at the premises of Bauchi State High Court and hailed the International Criminal Court for its arrest order against Netanyahu and Gallant who are leading a genocidal war against people of Palestine and Lebanon.

He said that when an arrest warrant is issued against a regime like Israel, it would send a message to the entire world that the International Criminal Court is now in existence.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants against the Israeli regime's PM Netanyahu and Ex-War Minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, over "war crimes of starvation, crimes against humanity, crimes of directing attacks against civilians, and other inhumane acts".

Over 44,400 people have been killed and more than 105,000 others have been injured, so far, since the Israeli regime launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
