Nigerian Military Denies War Crimes Allegation


The Nigerian military has rubbished reports by Amnesty International that it has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the period it has been doing battle with the insurgents in the Northern part of the country.The Military spoke through its Director of Defence Information,Maj-Gen Chris Olukolade.

"It's strange that despite all our efforts to ensure that we observe every detail of human rights requirement that any organisation is still desperate to compare us with terrorists.
"It is unfortunate. We feel the motive is suspect....
"But we know that in our own case, we have continued to try our best that human rights are not abused and we will continue to go by the best standard in our operations",Maj-Gen Olukolade said.
