Why ambassadorial appointments may not protect ex-service chiefs from ICC probe –Ex-NIIA DG, Akinterinwa Kayode Oyero Former Director General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Prof Bola Akinterinwa, says the appointment of ex-service chiefs as non-career ambassadors may not necessarily grant them diplomatic immunity or protect them from being probed by the International Criminal Court. Akinterinwa, who spoke on a PUNCH Online interview on Thursday, also doubted that the ex-service chiefs who were believed not to have performed at home would perform outside the country. Ex-NIIA DG, Prof. Bola Akinterinwa The PUNCH had earlier reported that ICC Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, said the court had found a reasonable basis to begin investigating members of the Nigerian Security Forces for crimes against humanity committed especially in Nigeria’s North-East under the watch of the now-former service chiefs.
