Insecurity: ‘Amnesty International backing Boko Haram, ISWAP’ – Defence Headquarters
The Defence Headquarters, DHQ, has accused Amnesty International of targeting the Nigerian military in support of terrorists.
It said the report was deliberately supporting the callous acts of terrorism perpetrated by Boko Haram Terrorists and the Islamic State of West African Province . “The Defence Headquarters wishes to state unambiguously that the allegations being touted by AI are nothing but a betrayal of its lack of in-depth knowledge of the goings-on in the North East theatre of operation.”
“It, therefore, beats one’s imagination that AI is attributing these atrocities to AFN troops who are legitimately defending the country guided by extant rules of engagement and operational codes of conduct,” it added. “Our troops should, therefore, be commended for making deliberate efforts to evacuate civilians in order to protect their lives and property.
