The Federal Government on Thursday called on Amnesty International to stop attacking its military men and casting them as “the bad guys” while they prosecute the war against terrorists.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the call at a press conference in Abuja.
He said, “I am aware that the Defence Headquarters has responded appropriately to this accusation. The military denied razing down villages and detaining locals unlawfully; that it does not employ arson as an operational tactic; and that looting and burning of villages is the style of Boko Haram terrorists.
