Amnesty International Nigeria was battling yesterday to fend off a major credibility crisis after the military rejected its report on attacks.
The army accused the rights group of planning to destabilise Nigeria by claiming that 3,641 deaths were recorded in herders/farmers clashes. It called for its expulsion.
But the organisation insisted on the integrity of tis reports and dismissed the army’s position as “empty threats”.
President Muhammadu Buhari joined the fray. His opinion – Amnesty International’s operations seem to be dampening the military’s morale.
In a statement yesterday, Army spokesman Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman said AI’s attempt to destabilise the nation was noted through fabrication of fictitious allegations of alleged human rights abuses against security forces.
Gen. Usman also alleged that Amnesty International had engaged in clandestine sponsorship of dissident groups to protest against the leadership of the military against who unfounded allegations were reportedly leveled.
A coalition of Civil Society Organisations (Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, Enough is Enough, and BudgIT) have recently called for the probing of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) over the funding of the war against terrorism and other crimes in the country.
The CSOs alleged that the army had not made commensurate achievement in the fight in line with the huge fund the Federal Government allocated to it.
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, explained that some of the allocated funds had no cash backing yet and, therefore, not at the disposal of the military.
Gen. Usman said the local branch of Amnesty Internstional, which was hitherto well-respected, had deviated from the core values, principles and objectives of the original parent body in the United Kingdom.
The military spokesman said: “They have tried over the years, using Boko Haram terrorists’ conflicts, Islamic Movement in Nigeria, some activists and now herders-farmers conflicts.
“The NGO is at the verge of releasing yet another concocted report against the military, ostensibly against the Nigerian Army.
“Consequently, Nigerians should be wary of Amnesty International (Nigeria) because its goals are to destabilise Nigeria and to dismember it.
“The Nigerian Army has no option than to call for the closure of Amnesty International offices in Nigeria, if such recklessness continues.”
Amnesty International dismissed the military’s threat to seal its offices in the country.
The body said there was nothing to worry over on the military’s verdict that its activities were subversive.
Amnesty International was responding to the army’s reaction to its report on the death toll recorded in the farmers/herders’ clashes in the last three years.
