Nigeria's former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has reacted to Nigerian lawyer, Femi Falana's petition of the ICC asking for probe of the ex minister and others for crimes against humanity.
In a statement released on Monday, she called the petition a “desperate joke by an integrity challenged charlatan”.
"Falana’s attempt to implicate Dr Okonjo-Iweala falsely is a disservice to law, justice and the image of the country. It is sad that a person who had earned some prominence as a human rights lawyer now tramples on the human rights of others as a political jobber.
"He and his sponsors are engaged in nothing but media harassment, cyber bullying and intimidation against innocent persons like Dr Okonjo-Iweala for political and pecuniary gain. That is why Nigerians should not give in to Falana’s self-imposed Chronic Cerebral Amnesia (CCA).
