The Nigerian military has denied the report by Amnesty International (AI) that some civilians died in a detention cell at Giwa Barracks.
This was contained in a statement signed by Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Acting Director Defence Information.
While noting that the accusations by AI came as a shock to the military, Abubakar called on Nigerians to disregard the report as it is untrue and baseless.
“The Nigerian military has completely disassociated itself from the report of Amnesty International which claims that some civilians died in a detention cell at Giwa Barracks,” the statement says. “The accusation comes as a surprise and shock because the organisation has accessed the facilities and made recommendations which were implemented.
