The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has indicted the Nigerian Army of Mass killings in the North-East while clearing it of alleged forced abortion in the region.
The Special Independent Investigative Panel on Human Rights Violations in Counter-Insurgency Operations in North-East, which sat for nearly two years, released its findings at the NHRC headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
Headed by a retired Justice of the Supreme Court, Abdu Adoke, the seven-man panel, ruled that while investigations found allegations of termination of approximately 10,000 pregnancies in the North-East untrue due to lack of evidence before its independent panel, the military was indeed culpable of both infant and community kiQllings in its operations on June 16, 2016.
Rtrd Justice Adoke spoke about how the independent investigation worked without interference from the commission or any other government agencies in the country.
NHRC Executive Secretary, Tony Ojukwu, said the commission would embark on a series of public consultations and conversations on the report to ensure the implementation of the report.
