While we condemn the heinous activities of our law enforcement agents. I will like to say that dat we don't need the opinion of a bias human right to deal with our issues in Nigeria. What they claimed happening in Nigeria is worst in some other places including d US. The last time I checked, their poor judgement led Nigeria government to make d mistake of releasing a notorious boko haram member who later masterminded the Iyanyan bomb that claimed the lives of several people and I never read or heard it anywhere that they condemn the bombing.

Dexpro: Amnesty International should also tell the truth on how many innocent Nigerians that boko haram has murdered and not always try to defend boko haram actions under the guise of human rights. When boko haram attacks Nigeria amnesty intl goes quiet but when the military attacks back they amnesty intl remembers human right. 4 Likes |

This is fact!! The nigerian police and it's likes are notorious torture experts and prolific human right abusers. Even if you see how they bring prisoners facing trial to court, you will think they were already convicted and heading to execution. It's repulsive and inhuman. Now we as a people can accept this and demand change recognizing it can happen to any of us someday or we can blame amnesty intl. For bringing it to light. Nigerians, BE WISE!! 4 Likes |

fr3do: This is part of the scheme to dampen the efforts of the Authorities in battling boko haram.I keep trying to wrap my head around how some of you guys think, and time and time again, I can't seem to find my way around it!! How does pressurising the law enforcement agencies to stop the act of torture amount to dampening their effort to fight terrorism If anything, nobodies like yourself should be happy for it cos people like you are the most likely candidates for such crimes. How many politicians have you ever heard spent days in detention and tutored without trial?? How many of them even get arrested?? At best they are "invited" and most often they don't show up!!

As far as i know...no one was arrested or punished for the shooting. In America...if you do the same...you get investigated, and you either lose your job or at the very least get suspended....and furthermore...if nothing happens...people will protest on the street. Nothing happened for my parents friend(he was fortunate to survive the shooting).

All these does not rule out the fact that these acts are being committed day by day and they are definitely just wrong. I listened to the whole scenario on Aljazeera this morning and contributions made a whole lot of sense. Two Africans, one from Abuja and the other from Geneva also condemned this.

Nigerian army, police and all of them in general are barbaric. Even if you want to torture someone, must it be that obvious?? y'all keep repeating America tortures, isreali totures and human right activists don't go after them. Well if you cant see huge as$ injuries what can they photograph, if they show someone's hand with all his nails pulled out you think anyone would bother? Or if all his teeth knocked out?? But no they have to make a huge as$ wound on their backs. That amnesty international can make a whole lot of noise about. And to make it all worse, boko haram attacks a town and kills off almost the male inhabitants, the army gets there and round off the remaining for this routine bullsh*t. . Or if the dude aint innocent why did they let him go? After destroying his back... Madafaka . With all the torturing to gain info, Nigerian army is always reacting to the terrorists attack. I have never for once since after 2009 major wipe out heard them taking the battle to the terrorists. 3 Likes |

kadas01: I agree with you to some extent, but it is highly important for people to know their "rights"!/ Really? When your police waits for armed robbers to finish operations, then show up the next day and arrest a busload of innocent people (even waka pass), torture them into confessions or bribery. How do you advise anyone not to be caught in a crime scene? Or do people intentionally walk into crime scenes waiting to be arrested by " gallant" NPF? Knowing your right will not get you anywhere with NPF because their upper hierarchy is in on the scheme. Only knowing a VIP gets good results. Are you not in Nigeria?

The Indians torture was sef especially their police. What the mess does the USA stands to gain from a divided or destroyed Nigeria ?Procuring knowledge is the best way to stem ignorance... 1. Amnesty International is a Non-profit, Non-governmental organization which mission is "to protect human rights". It was founded on May, 28 1961 in London. http://www.glotter.com/entry-2869 2. At 3pm on 2 November 1936 the BBC began the world's first regular hi-definition television service, from specially constructed studios at Alexandra Palace in North London. http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc 3. Guantanamo Bay Amnesty International listed US indefinite detention of 166 prisoners at Guantanamo as the country's primary human rights concern in its latest annual report. [/b]The paper also denounced drone strikes and uninvestigated deaths from secret CIA detentions. 4. [b]What assistance has the United States provided to Nigeria to help it counter the Boko Haram threat? U.S.-Nigerian diplomatic engagement has focused on the Boko Haram threat through a Regional Security Working Group of the Binational Commission, as well as through regular engagement by U.S. embassy officials in Abuja. Through the BNC dialogue, the United States has supported Nigerian efforts to establish a joint intelligence fusion center; the FBI has also provided periodic support to the Nigerian government to assist in specific incident investigations. The United States has provided counterterrorism training and assistance to Nigerian civilian and law enforcement agencies, but counterterrorism support for the Nigerian military has been limited in comparison with that provided to some countries in the Sahel and East Africa. U.S. military assistance to Nigeria has focused primarily on professionalization, peacekeeping support and training, and border and maritime security. The country has received sizable assistance to support the Nigerian military’s peacekeeping deployments through the Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiative (GPOI), totaling $2 million to $3 million annually in recent years. Nigeria also receives on average $1 million annually in Foreign Military Financing (FMF), which has been used to sustain the country’s fleet of C-130 aircraft. Nigerian security forces have received counternarcotics assistance from the State Department and DOD. U.S. counterterrorism programs in Nigeria are implemented through the State Department’s West Africa Regional Security Initiative (WARSI), the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) and other State Department-led initiatives, including Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) and the Regional Strategic Initiative (RSI), as well as through DOD funds for counterterrorism and military-to-military cooperation activities. Nigerian law enforcement agencies receive ATA and RSI training regularly totaling more than $3 million per year, focusing on border security,crisis response, counter-IED, and investigative and analytic capacity. Counterterrorism assistance to the military is increasing—FY2014 assistance includes $5 million in counter-IED and civil- military relations training, and U.S. military trainers have recently begun efforts to train a ranger battalion. Some U.S. assistance for Nigerian military and police units has been restricted based on human rights concerns (see below). The State Department and USAID additionally support programs that focus on counteringradicalization in Nigeria. Other counterterrorism-related support includes justice sector programming focused on improving Nigerian capacity to prosecute terrorist financing cases. MEANWHILE..... "Turkish Airlines denies smuggling arms to Boko Haram The statement specifically stated that no arms deliveries were made to Nigeria from Turkey or any other country"...worldbulletin.net What are the major factors constraining further U.S. assistance to Nigerian security forces in their operations against Boko Haram? Human rights concerns have constrained U.S. security assistance to Nigeria for both legal and policy reasons, and coordination on counterterrorism efforts has also been hampered at times by a lack of cooperation from Nigerian officials. U.S. legal provisions, popularly known as the Leahy Laws, that prohibit assistance to foreign security force units implicated in gross violations of human rights have had a significant impact on U.S.-Nigerian security cooperation. DOD officials have further described Nigeria as “an extremely challenging partner to work with,” and“slow to adapt with new strategies, new doctrines, and new tactics.” 2 Likes |
