Defence Headquarters, DHQ has refuted recent allegations by Amnesty International that troops conducting operations in the South East have engaged in extrajudicial killings, describing them as unfounded.
The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye stated this during the weekly briefing of the ongoing military operations by the Armed Forces of Nigeria across the country in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
According to him, soldiers cannot carry their weapons, go to the street and start shooting people.
He noted that everybody with a phone in their hand is a potential source of information to the whole world.
He said that “the military is not engaged in any extrajudicial killing in the southeast”.
