 ‘Ridiculous, Lacks Merit’, DHQ Rejects Amnesty’s 10,000 Civilian Deaths Allegation


The Defence Headquarters has rejected claims by Amnesty International that 10, 000 persons died in its custody since the Boko Haram conflict began in the northeast.


The international human rights organisation’s Country Director, Isa Sanusi, at a briefing in Maiduguri, accused Boko Haram and the military of many abuses.


According to him, military personnel violated rules of engagement while carrying out their assignments in the region.


He regretted how the military denied the involvement of its personnel in atrocity after being served with Amnesty’s report before it was made public.


Sanusi announced that the human rights body had already filed a case before the International Court of Justice, ICJ, at the Hague over alleged crimes against humanity in the North-east.


Reacting, the Defence Headquarters in a statement by Director Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba on Friday, described Amnesty’s allegations as “spurious, shocking and lacking in merit”.


It also invited the organisation over to its office to substantiate its allegations.


“The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to some spurious allegations made by Amnesty International during a press conference held on 5 Dec 24. It was alleged that, since the onset of Boko Haram insurgency in the North East of Nigeria (NE) over ten thousand civilians died in Nigerian Military detention facilities among other spurious allegations.


“The armed forces views the pronouncements by Amnesty International as shocking, lacking in merit as well as mischievous, particularly as it coming at this ending cycle stage of the counter terrorism war in the NE.


“Though the Armed Forces is not willing to join words with Amnesty International, it is of utmost necessity to set the records straight. The Nigerian military is a professional forces which conducts its operations within the dictates of international humanitarian law and the laws of armed conflicts.


“Though the operational environment has been complex and challenging, troop have painstakingly abide by the rules of engagement to extensively avoided civilian casualties in whatever shape or form. Additionally, whenever arrest are made , suspects are profiled, afterwhich the suspects are handed over to the appropriate agency for release or prosecution.


“As a deterence to unethical conducts, there are standing court martials  within the operational theatres to ensure justice is immediately administered to any  erring personnel during operations. Overall, It is necessary to reiterate that the armed forces under the able leadership of the CDS, General Christopher Musa, remains professional in carrying out its constitutional mandates in line with global best practices.


“On the whole, the armed forces invites Amnesty International to substantiate the details of the allegations. This will  enable the military to conduct an inquiry in order to determine the authencity or otherwise of the made allegations.”
