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.
