A former Personal Assistant (PA) on Prosecution to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, has said that it is a violation of the international law principle of the right to self-determination to force the people of Danare and Biajua communities in Boki LGA of Cross River State of Nigeria to be part of the Republic of Cameroon without their consent under the cloak of a judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

He urged the National Assembly to take advantage of renewed claims by Cameroon to Danare and Biajua communities and carry out an oversight of the Green Tree Agreement (GTA) which provisions earlier ceded another part of the state, Bakassi Peninsula, to Cameroon.
