The American IPOB lawyer said the lawsuit would seek to revoke the delivery of the six Tucano jets sold
American constitutional lawyer, Bruce Fein, has said that a suit has been filed in the United States of America on behalf of the Indigenous People of Biafra against the sales of six A-29 Tucano fighter jets to the Nigerian government.The lawyer argued that former President Donald Trump approved the sales of selling 12 Tucano military aircraft to Nigeria at the sum of $600 million in 2017 without having a rethink of the human rights violations of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
This revelation was contained in a zoom meeting Fein had with the presenter of Njenje Media TV, Maazi Ezeoke and another broadcaster known as Chidi. “And the case that we have brought is against those in the executive in the United States like the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken and Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin responsible for the delivery of the A-29 military aircraft. Six of them have been delivered, six have not been delivered.
“There is also kind of arrangement with the Democrats to stop selling weapons to Nigeria. These considerations were not available when the weapons sales were approved in 2017 because President Trump was faulted on human rights and Republicans were not going to challenge anything.
