A coalition of 27 human rights and advocacy groups has petitioned 31 Embassies, including European Union (EU), United Kingdom, and many African countries, urging them to reject the posting of former Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai (rtd), and others over human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings perpetrated under his leadership as army chief. It also called for sanctions against over 20 other serving and retired military and police chiefs, including the newly appointed Chief of Army Staff, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru. But the army PRO has denied that the girls were detained by the army and raped. He said: “How will they come into military barracks? Please contact DSS. That’s not our work. Even when we have such situation, we contact the police.” A text message sent to the spokesman of DSS, Dr. Peter Afunanya, was yet to be replied as at the time of filling this report. “The victims were part of those abducted at various locations at Obigbo on their way home from work between 7p.m. and 7.30p.m. on November 20, 2020, and taken to Obinze Army Barracks in Owerri, Imo State, in the dead of the night from where they were secretly transported the next night to the Mogadishu barracks in Abuja, where many, if not most of them were raped and used as ‘sex slaves’ for weeks before they were secretly transferred to DSS dungeons in Abuja where they are presently held incommunicado. “At arrival in the Mogadishu barracks, they were separated and dumped in ‘male and female guardrooms’. The victims also importantly informed Intersociety ‘that there were over 50 young women in the female guardrooms-all Obigbo abductees’ and that ‘during their stay in the guardrooms and less than two days after their arrival, soldiers turned them into ‘sex slaves’ and serially raped them using random picking or selection. The victims added that just a day after their arrival from Obinze on November 22, 2020, one of them, called ‘Victoria’ was raped to death and her corpse disappeared till date,” the group alleged. http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/02/15/alleged-rights-abuse-27-groups-petition-31-embassies-over-buratai-others/amp/ 1 Like |
