Nigerian Army accuses Amnesty International of plans to destabilize Nigeria
by Oru Leonard
The Nigerian Army has said that the Nigerian branch of Amnesty International is working hard to destabilise Nigeria.
The Director Army Public Relations of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman stated this in a press release made available to journalist today.
“The Nigerian branch of the Amnesty International that has hitherto been well respected has deviated from the core values, principles and objectives of the original Amnesty International domiciled in the United Kingdom. There is credible information that the Nigerian branch of the International Non-governmental Organisation is determined to destabilise the Nigerian nation.
This is noted through fabrication of fictitious allegations of alleged human rights abuses against the Nigerian security forces and clandestine sponsorship of dissedent groups to protest, as well as unfounded allegations against the leadership of the Nigerian military. They have tried over the years using Boko Haram terrorists conflicts, Islamic Movement in Nigeria, some activists and now herders-farmers conflicts” Brigadier General Usman stated.
The Army Spokesman also revealed that the NGO is at the verge of releasing yet another concorted 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 Nigeria and to dismember it.
The state concluded that the Nigerian Army has no option than to call for the closure of Amnesty International offices in Nigeria, if such recklessness continues.
