NIGERIAN ARMY: Amnesty International Destabilizing Nigeria
The Nigerian Army has yet again accused of being enemy of state, in a statement issued on Monday by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman.
The military alleged that the human rights group has deviated from the core values, principles and objectives of the global organisation.
He
said, “This is noted through the fabrication of fictitious allegations
of alleged human rights abuses against the Nigerian security forces and
clandestine sponsorship of dissident groups to protest, as well as
unfounded allegations against the leadership of the Nigerian military."
He further stated, “They
have tried over the years using Boko Haram terrorists’ conflicts,
Islamic Movement in Nigeria, some activists and now herders-farmers
conflicts.”
The Army spokesman claimed that the Non-Governmental
Organisation, is perfecting plan to “releasing yet another concocted report
against the military and warns that the army would call for the closure
of amnesty offices in Nigeria if such recklessness continues.”
This
allegation is coming a week after the army had suspended the activities of the
United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in the
northeast, which lifted few days ago.
