The director, defence media operations Major General Edward Buba, extended the invitation while reacting to allegations by Amnesty International that at least 10,000 civilians died in military detention since the onset of Boko Haram insurgency in the North East.

He described the allegations as “shocking, lacking in merit as well as mischievous, particularly as it coming at this ending cycle stage of the counter terrorism war in the North East.”
He said while the Armed Forces was not willing to join words with Amnesty International, it became of utmost necessity to set the records straight.
He said contrary to the claims, the Nigerian military is a professional forces which conducts its operations within the dictates of international humanitarian law and the laws of armed conflicts.

“Though the operational environment has been complex and challenging, troops have painstakingly abide by the rules of engagement to extensively avoided civilian casualties in whatever shape or form,” he said.

He explained further that whenever arrests are made, suspects are profiled, after which they are handed over to the appropriate agency for release or prosecution.
