The International
Criminal Court (ICC) says it will publish its findings on possible
crimes against humanity in Nigeria in the “next six months.” The
court’s prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who spoke to reporters in New
York on Tuesday, said ICC had received “many communications” on Nigeria.

He said: “We have
received communication on different issues and we will want to clarify
the different situations before providing a provincial report,
providing more clarity on what we are doing and what Nigeria can do.

“We are trying to
be predictable, because national authorities have the primacy on
investigations.” The UN Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) reports that Mr Ocampo declined to get into details on the
communications received from Nigeria.

However, in
December, the ICC prosecutor was reported as saying that the Court was
looking into the potential crimes against humanity in the killings that
took place in Jos, in January 2010 in which over 300 people died.

“In Nigeria we are
watching these incidents with many communications. There are many
incidents that are reportedly under jurisdiction. What we are planning
to do is to prepare a report, that you will see in the next six months,
explaining what we are watching,” he said.

He described the Nigerian government, as “very cooperative” with the court.
