Buhari Promises To Look At Amnesty International Report Accusing Soldiers Of War Crimes .




President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to study an Amnesty International report which indicts the Nigerian Army during the conduct of its operations against Boko Haram and accuses it of killing 8,000 people.


According to the Amnesty International report published yesterday, more than 8,000 people have died while being held prisoner by Nigeria’s armed forces, many of them deliberately killed. In the 133-page report, the human rights watchdog said more than 1,200 people had been extra-judicially executed since March 2011 and over 7,000 had died in a military detention due to starvation, overcrowding, torture and the denial of medical assistance.
