international news agency, REUTERS, on Sunday reported that it was in possession of an amateur video showing Nigerian soldiers shooting unarmed captives in broad daylight in Maiduguri, Borno State.

It said the video was sent to it by a soldier, who claimed to have witnessed the shooting. Reuters quoted the unnamed soldiers as saying that he was present when the soldiers shot the captives about two weeks ago.

Maiduguri is the seat of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, and there have been many clashes between military operatives and the sect members.

The report said, “In the grainy footage, a man sits down next to three or four corpses piled together on the roadside. He pleads for his life while soldiers shout at him and a crowd looks on a few metres away. “Please don’t fire,” the man says in Pidgin English.

“He tries to stand up and get onto the back of a pickup truck to the left. A Nigerian soldier shouts “come out”, and drags him off it, shoving him on the ground.

“One of them kicks him in the head. Then he and another soldier aim assault rifles at him. Four gunshots are heard and the man lies still next to the others.”

According to Reuters, another video from the same source, which he said was taken after the executions, shows soldiers piling up about 24 bodies in two heaps on the ground from the back of a military truck.

Nigerian army spokesman, Colonel Mohammed Yerima, told Reuters that he had not seen the video but that the events must have been staged.

“How can they do that? It is not possible. This is the Boko Haram tactics. They will do the killing, say it’s the military and then Amnesty International and so on will blame us. It’s not possible for Nigerian troops to act in this way,” Yerima was quoted as saying.

There have been several allegations of improper conduct against the Nigerian soldiers in the Joint Task Force in charge of maintaining peace in the North-East where Boko Haram members have staged many attacks.

But the military has always denied complicity in the crisis in the zone.

The Guardian of London on November 2, 2012 reported a similar case of soldiers shooting dead many during raids in Maiduguri, quoting witnesses and hospital staff.

According to the reports, three witnesses said soldiers from the JTF raided several neighbourhoods in Maiduguri late on November 1 and arrested or shot dead dozens of young men.

“More than 30 bodies were brought in by the JTF and most of them were young men,” The Guradian quoted one nurse at a hospital in the town, Yagana Bukar, as saying.

Amnesty International said in a report released on Nov. 1 that the JTF had committed human rights abuses in its fight against Boko Haram.

The report said the JTF had carried out executions in the streets and tortured people without charges ever being brought.

Abeg kill them some more joor. F*ckn terrorists

I hope d video was not shot by BH themselves as d soldiers seem to have got some marginal victory over them of late.

sad but true.true but old news.my friend,a banker, works in yobe specifically damaturu.once when he was describing with glee how the military was waging the war against boko haram,wot came to my mind was 'this is genocide.'it was a tale of how innocent people are killed daily by the military becos you live in the wrong part of town,belong to the wrong religion and are male.my friend,a christian was applauding d military for doing a good job.

CallmePROF: oh gosh!!. Some people are just sooooo heartless and wicked!. #sad#

which people,BOKO harm or JTF

does anyone have the video? or a link?

This was what initially brought the bokoharam wahala we are all facing today. Extrajudicial killings by security operatives. Why should government fail to learn from history? Why? Why? And Why?

I am very sure that majority of those who were murdered by these trigger happy goons were not bokoharam members. They were just happened to be at wrong place in wrong time.

How do we know the people that were shot were really Boko Haram?

What are our criminal courts for?

I just hope the govt is not using BH as an excuse to carry our political assassinations.

video please

And u cried foul when d same nigerian army killed innocent civilians in odi, zaki biam, and south, south?

One realitu we must never forget is that during crisis d army go to extremes and they do kill innocent men, particularly young people. If it didn't happen in your own village doesn't mean it never happened. But if you condemn the victims, remember that you are also not immuned;you may be waiting your turn sooner than later.

this is really disgusting. what a world.

Good Nigerian:
U no go fit drink garri afterwards ooo

say wetin happen? As if say i no dey watch horror film! Abeg the video jawe!
