Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has faulted a report by Amnesty International, that the Nigerian military involved in gross violation of human rights and torture in the North East.
According to a statement by acting Director of Information, Col Rabe Abubakar, “It is pertinent to state here that the allegations have been convincingly refuted and proven to be an orchestrated conspiracy against the Nigerian 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 peacekeeping operations and therefore shares no comparison with rag-tag band of terrorists whatsoever." the statement added.
The DHQ further said it was unfair for Amnesty International to accuse the military of human rights abuses based on "cropped images used by the country’s enemies and detractors to achieve their purpose”
"The Nigerian military under the new dawn will never humiliate or harass any law abiding citizen, and would remain focused to end terrorism soon.” the statement further added.
