MILITARY DEBUNKS AMNESTY REPORT THAT GIWA BARRACKS IS 'A PLACE OF DEATH'

The Nigerian military has completely disassociated itself from the report of Amnesty International which claims that some civilians died in a detention cell at Giwa Barracks. 

The accusation comes as surprise and shock because the organisation has accessed the facilities and made recommendations which were implemented.

According to the Acting Director, Defence Information,  Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, it is rather unfortunate that an organization of higher repute such as Amnesty International could come around to release a report which is completely baseless, unfounded and source-less with the intent of denting the image of the Nigerian Armed Forces. We would remain committed to the task we have started against the Boko Haram terrorists until they are annihilated.
