The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has urged that it is not too late to arrest and prosecute former military Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida for his alleged crimes committed during his "military dictatorship". Sowore expressed this sentiment on his verified X account on Thursday, as the former military president marked his 85th birthday.
The human rights activist pointed to the case of Augusto Pinochet, the former dictator of Chile, who faced arrest and extensive legal proceedings in his 80s, asserting that age does not automatically exempt an individual from accountability. Sowore emphasized, "It is not too late to arrest and prosecute IBB. He is 85. His age should not confer immunity from justice."
He further noted that the unresolved killings, abuses, corruption, and other grave violations associated with IBB's regime warrant thorough investigation and prosecution if evidence supports it.
