Bogoro condemned Amnesty International over the recent accusations made against the Nigerian military following airstrikes that hit some communities and led to loss of lives.

“These allegations are not only unfounded but also detrimental to the morale of our brave men and women in uniform who risk their lives daily to protect our nation,” he lamented.

“No amount of distraction from Amnesty international or any mischief makers should dissuade him, we fully recognise his efforts.

“It is appalling that Amnesty International has chosen to ignore the tremendous progress made by the Nigerian military in recent times, particularly under the leadership of CDS

“The CDS has prioritised human rights, promoting a culture of respect and adherence to international humanitarian law within the military.

“General Musa has implemented various initiatives to improve the welfare of military personnel, including enhanced training, equipment, and benefits.

“We urge Amnesty International to refrain from making unsubstantiated allegations that can undermine the morale of our military and the confidence of our citizens.

“Instead, we encourage them to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration to promote human rights and national security”
