The Nigerian Army has released a statement reacting to the Amnesty International's report earlier today which indicted Senior Military officers of committing war crimes. The world humanitarian body mentioned names and called for a full investigation of the officers who they allege participated, sanctioned and failed to prevent the deaths of about 8,000 Nigerians since activities of Boko Haram started in Nigeria.

A statement by the Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade in Abuja on Wednesday, contended that the serving and retired seniors mentioned by AI in its report had no reason whatsoever to indulge in the allegation made against them.
“It is unfortunate that the organisation just went out to gather names of specified senior officers in a calculated attempt to rubbish their reputation as well as the image of the military. The action, no doubt, depicts more of a premeditated indictment aimed at discrediting the country for whatever purpose,” Olukolade stated.
