The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has exonerated the Nigerian military of any extra judicial killings, saying that it has begun probe into the report of Amnesty international which accused the Nigeria police and other security agencies of torture.

The Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe, stated this in Abuja yesterday while receiving the Regional representatives for West Africa Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human rights in his office.

According to the NHRC boss, the commission is already holding meetings with various security agencies in the country over the report, saying that the response which the commission has been getting since the probe was initiated has been positive.

He said, “We have not found any act of extra judicial killing by the military. When we come out with our report, we expect security agencies in the country to punish any indicted officer. The commission is still probing the allegation and after the probe, we will come out with a report. We will continue to ensure that the rights of Nigerians are respected”.

Boko Haram is not a State Apparatus therefore can't be accused of "extrajudicial killings". They can only be said to have committed war crimes or genocide, or crimes against humanity, which they have.
Na wa for some of una oo.

very poor and senseless analysis.try again later but u try shaaaa

Don't tell me Nonsense

This news will be good for some people and bad for some people. But truth is that, there is no way there won't be extra judicial killings in any country that is fighting a war like Nigeria is doing. Even the US does it, there are several instances especially the killing of Gadaffi of Libya. He wasn't armed yet he was killed at first sight. So nobody should expect anything from them and even if they indict the military, nothing is still going to happen. Obasanjo did extra judicial killing at Odi in Bayelsa state and the court has actually told the FG to pay compensation for it yet nothing has happened to Obasanjo cos he did it in the interest of the country as at then to bring peace.
