The Chief of Army Staff, Farouk Yahaya, has accused Reuters, an international news agency, of acting a script to undermine the efforts of Nigeria’s armed forces in curtailing the security challenges in Nigeria’s North-East.
Reuters had reported that the Army had carried out mass abortions without the persons’ consent and that at least 10,000 pregnancies had been illegally terminated.
While testifying before the Special Independent Investigative Panel on Human Rights Violations in Counter Insurgency Operations in the North-east, Yahaya however slammed the news agency, accusing it of calculated attempts to undermine efforts of the army in the security-ravaged region.
