The Coalition for Truth and Justice (CTJ) has aimed jibes at Amnesty International for failing to prove allegations of human rights abuses against the Nigerian Military before the presidential panel despite hiring a team of international lawyers.
The acclaimed humanitarian group had claimed it “received credible evidence that as the military regained control, more than 600 people, mostly unarmed recaptured detainees, were extra-judicially executed in various locations across Maiduguri”
However, AI’s legal team were unable to backup this bogus allegation before the presidential panel and CTJ reckoned its the group’s usual “campaign of calumny” against the gallant troops.
In a statement signed by National Secretary, Barrister Abiodun Sodiq Babalola, on Monday, CTJ said it monitored the military’s activities and found AI’s claims to be totally false.
It further revealed that AI lawyers relied on “ newspaper reports and news items planted in the media as it was not able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the allegations were indeed genuine”.
The Coalition for Truth and Justice, therefore, warned Amnesty International and its sponsored proxies to discontinue its propaganda of mischief against the Nigerian Military with immediate effect.
Failure to do so, however, the group said would attract the full wrath of Nigerians.
