Acting CJN: Military Must Act Within the Laws, Critical to Democracy - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
Against the backdrop of its role in the 2019 general election, militarisation of some parts of the country and allegations of human rights abuses in its operations, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, yesterday declared that the military must act within the law during military operations.
“I want to reiterate that considering the asymmetric nature of the type of war we now engage in, the military cannot function effectively without public support. Abubakar explained that the retreat was aimed at providing NAF legal officers with the opportunity to meet and interact with their colleagues within and outside the service, adding that it was designed to equip field commanders with current and emerging legal trends as well as issues associated with human rights in the conduct of internal security operations.
