Buhari says he will probe Amnesty International report on torture

President Muhammadu Buhari acknowledged the receipt of the Amnesty International report on Nigeria titled Nigeria: Stories of horror in their own words and has promised to investigate the report.

In a statement by the senior Special Assistant (Media & Publicity), Garba Shehu in Niamey, Niger Republic on Wednesday, it said that Buhari has received the report which he says contains many disturbing allegations assuring that his administration will study the document and act appropriately.

“I assure you that your report will be looked into,” Buhari said.

According to Vanguard, Buhari said without meaning to prejudge the outcome of any investigation, Nigerians needed to be reassured that his administration will leave no stone un-turned to promote the rule of law, and deal with all cases of human rights abuses.

“Respect for human rights and adherence to the rule of law are the life and soul of the democratic system. We will not tolerate or condone impunity and reckless disregard for human rights,” he said.
