The Defence Headquarters dismissed the Amnesty International reports about the Nigerian army allegedly being involved in human rights violations in the northeast.
The statement by DHQ spokesman Colonel Rabe Abubakar reads in part:
“It is pertinent to state here that the allegations have been convincingly refuted and proved to be an orchestrated conspiracy against the Armed Forces.
“The DHQ also wishes to once again remind the Nigerian public and the international community that the Nigerian military is a professional organisation with track records of achievements in peace-keeping operations and therefore shares no comparison with rag-tag band of terrorists whatsoever.
“The military is constitutionally empowered to secure Nigeria from any form of insecurity. It is therefore unfair for Amnesty International and any other group to accuse the Nigerian military of human rights abuse based on cropped images used by the country’s enemies and detractors to achieve their purpose.”
