Reuters Report: Army General Challenges Victims To Testify Against Soldiers ‘Strangling Babies’

A top military general in the Nigerian Army has told the Special Independent Investigation Panel on Human Rights Violations in the North East that victims of human rights violation should come forward to testify to the allegations that soldiers were strangling babies in the region.

Recall that the 7- member panel chaired by a retired Supreme Court Judge, Justice Abdu Aboki was on February 7, 2023 established by the National Human Rights Commission to probe a 3-part report by foreign media Reuters which alleged that operatives in the northeast also aborted over 10,000 babies, in the last five years of fighting terrorists.
