The Nigerian Army has called for the closure of the Amnesty International offices in Nigeria, alleging there is credible evidence the organisation is working hard to destabilise the country.

The army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman said in a statement on Monday that the organisation’s attempt to destabilise the nation was noted through the fabrication of fictitious allegations of alleged human rights abuses against the Nigerian security forces.

Usman also alleged the AI had engaged in clandestine sponsorship of dissident groups to protest, as well as unfounded allegations against the leadership of the Nigerian military.


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 over the funding of the war against terrorism and other crimes in the country.

The CSOs alleged the army had not made commensurate achievement in the fight in line with the huge fund the federal government allocated to the fight.

The COAS, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, had however explained that some of the allocated funds has yet to be cash backed and that it had not reached the army.

Usman said the Nigerian branch of AI that has hitherto been well respected has deviated from the core values, principles and objectives of the original parent body in the United Kingdom.

“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 it’s goals are to destabilise Nigeia 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.

This is not the Nigerian Military I grew up in and Schooled in!

The Nigerian Army today is a HUGE Joke.

Nigerian Army that was adjourned the Best on land in Peace keeping are now a bunch of Jokers being Wasted anyhow because of Unneccessary politicking by the Government of the Day!!

Spewwwwweeeeeeeeech!!

when they leave the real enemy (Boko) to fight NGO'S then you know that something is up.

Truly, these foreign NGOs sponsoring monitors and "spies" on ground is tantamount to espionage. While we agree that the objectives of AI in keeping the authorities on their toes is very admirable, it is also important for them to realise that where national security is involved they should thread with care.

Because they are telling us the real truth abi?

They are funding terrorists... You close down their office.. It can only make sense to zombies

Hi... Seun after Six months of paying you, you're yet to place my advert.

Shameless folks.

Bad publicity, bad image and lack of credibility is big business for western countries - Amnesty International, WHO, ICC and other western dominated bodies are at the forefront of it.

You cannot stop being exploited and controlled if these organisations render your country impotent, with a poor negotiating hand.

Stupid Africans for some reason keep lying in bed with these CIA and other western security forces controlled organizations.

Pal,

There is clear evidence that Amnesty International is run by the CIA and other western security forces. If any African country start to progress against any form of economic and social programs they do something to tarnish it so you can go back to square one.

A destabilized Africa means big business for western companies and government exploitation.

Stupid talk does not fix Africa's problems - use some commonsense!
