The Council gave the ultimatum in a statement issued by the Council by the National President, Comrade Chilos Godsent.
The statement noted that the Council will sue the Nigeria Army at the International Criminal Court, ICC, for genocide against the Southeast region should Buratai fail to withdraw his men.
