The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed on Monday said the military remains a critical institution for the success of any democratic government.
He however cautioned that it was imperative for the military to operate within the ambit of the law while going about its kinetic and non-kinetic operations to avoid criticism within and outside the country. “If we juxtapose this with the increasing focus and criticism of military operations at both local and international levels, the needs to act within the laws during military operations therefore become undeniably imperative.”
The CAS said: ” The NAF relies on our Legal Services Directorate in navigating the legal waters which sometimes become turbulent as a consequence of the strict requirements for the military to adhere to LOAC. “Others have alleged that bombs were dropped in villages, killing civilians and burning thatched roofs of their homes but sparing mud structures of the houses.
