From UBONG UKPONG, Abuja
The Nigerian Army High Command yesterday accused the Amnesty International of working in favour of the dreaded Boko Haram sect in the country. Amnesty International (AI) had last week, launched its report on the country and accused the military of extra-judiciary killings in its counter terrorism war against the sect.
Apparently unhappy with the position of the human rights group, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Azubuike Ihejirika, expressed serious exception to the indictment on the Joint Tasks Force (JTF) and the Nigerian Army, saying the report was not just fraudulent, but capable of escalating the conflict.
At a press briefing in Abuja, Ihejirika said he wondered why Amnesty International decided to carry out the survey and release such report in the first place, considering that the military was working to quell the conflict that was threatening the survival of citizens and continuous peaceful co-existence of the country.
Represented by the Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR,) Brigadier General Mobolaji Koleoso, Ihejirika faulted the methodology used in the survey as being inaccurate, stating that Amnesty International was being insincere in its report. “Amnesty International is a body that is respected globally, but it should also feel the pulse of the military because, if a group of people uses women and children as shield to launch Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) against soldiers, what would they say that the soldiers should do?
“Amnesty International is not sincere and its report is in favour of the other group and not the Nigerian security. The JTF is a serious minded group,” the Army boss stated. Pointing out that there were serious exaggerations in the report, he said given the huge figures of daily death reported by the Amnesty International, one would think that people had all been killed and people were not living in Maiduguri anymore.
On the killing of Major General Shuwa (retd), which the Boko Haram sect had since denied knowledge, General Koleoso said the denial by the sect should not be taken serious, as all fingers were pointing to the sect.

Akpos decided to follow his friend Osas on a hunting trip deep in the forests of Okomu reserve at Iguobazuwa.
Akpos has never gone hunting while Osas has hunted all his life.
When they get to the middle of the forest, Osas tells Akpos to sit by a tree and not make a sound while he checks out an antelope trail.
After he gets about a quarter of a mile away, Osas hears a scream which scares away nearby antelope. He rushes back to Akpos and yells; “I think I tell you say make you quiet?”
Akpos replied : “Shuo, I try o, I really try. When green snake waka pass my leg I no shake body or make peem sound. When gorilla come de breath hot and smelly smelly breath for my face, I no shake body or make sound. But when two squirrel waka enter my trouser leg, one come tell the other one say, “Chei, see as this two palm kernel big like coconut, we nor go fit chop dem finish for here, so make we pluck and carry dem go home”, if u u wetin u go do?”

I used to say this and I’ll keep saying it, there is no difference between the so called Nigeria Army and Boko Haram. God punish both of them
You must be unhappy with Nigerian army but they are certainly performing a role or else Boko Haram would have been everywhere in Nigeria. But you have not addressed the title of the article. The Amnesty international we saw in Nigeria are made up of SOuth Africans and a Briton. None of these countries want Nigeria to succeed and SOuth Africa in particular have flooded Nigeria with spies who call themselves AFP or Reuters reporters
who are dis so call amnesty groups.they should not be takin serious at all.allthis western world are imperilist.come to think of it.they are the people fueling this crisis.they want nigeria to break up.its high time we know dat they don’t hav true love for our nation nigeria.
Nigerians should ignore dis fade human right, they re all thieves and killers. Infact nigeria govt should petition them 4 all dis rubbish talk and defamation of nigerians and his security agencies. God bless nigeria.
Amnesty what? My foot!!! Where did they get the report from? Did they ever get close to the theater of events in the north east or through telephone? If you don’t know this reports are based on the interests of the the people sponsoring the mayhem in the first place. Do Nigerians expect anything from the contrary? I doubt. Another thing is that the Army should build its public relations outfit to be able to counter these campaigns because it must continue to come. Upward Nigeria……..downward amnesty and their boko blood suckers.
boko haram cares nothing about human life or dignity and amnesty is talking of human righ. can they help me preach human right to those thousands slaghtered whil woshiping there god, the whose balacks were atacked and thier wifes and children killed, th
One question that keep bothering is this: What has the transparency international said when the BH burnt Churches all over the place? I am convinced transparency International are part of Boko Haram, Believe me
Who is killing and Bombing Nigerians? Boko Haram or JTF?
Those who doesn’t respect human life not to talk of human rights doesn’t deserve it. They should keep their advice . What of the 3000 something people and hundreds of churches this guys burnt.
This is a high wired tactics by boko haram sponsors to divert attention because the security agencies are closing in on them. They have employed the use of human rights organization to distabilise the governments effort at apprehending the sponsors. What of the numerous people they have killed mercilessly. Do those killed by boko haram not have right to live. Amnesty International if I will ask have you asked the boko haram to be prepared to pay compensation to those people they sent to early grave.
IT IS NOW CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HAS LOST ITS VALUE BY ALLOWING THE BOKO HARAM SPONSORS BUY THEM OVER SO CHEAPLY.
IT IS A PITY THAT THE HIGHLY RESPECTED ORGANISATION SO EASILY SUCCUMBED TO THE POWER OF OUR LOOTED OIL MONEY BY GUSUA,CIROMA, SHERIF,AINA,IBB,BUHARI GOWON, ET AL. SHAAAAMMMMMEEEEE . ICJ TAKE NOTE.

Nigeria should deal mercilessly with any Country and Organisation that that have sympathy for Boko Haram. It is an open secret in England that some Countries are deluding themselves to stop the good development in our Country. They are insulting us over here even though some of us are qualified more than their leaders.
Our Government must expose those behind Boko Haram in nigeria and outside Nigeria. our Ambassadors in foreign lands needs to be more sharper in helping our people especially in UK and US. Thanks.
This was how they advised president Jonathan to build schools for BH. so that they should stop bombing. And all the almajiri islamic schools in the north were turned to international schools. While in the south most schools don’t have roofs.
