The Defense Headquarters (DHQ) has faulted a British Newspaper report that Nigerian government committed war crimes by terrorising some of its citizens in the war against insurgency.

A statement posted on the website of the Defence Headquarters read: “The report credited to the British Newspaper, Daily Independent, UK, in which it claimed that Nigerian government `committed war crimes by terrorising some of its citizens in the war against insurgency”.

“Is to say the least, unduly judgmental and quite consistent with the disdain and bias with which a section of the western media reports Africa,” the statement read.

The DHQ said that the newspaper did not lay claim to any sense of professionalism in coming out with grossly unsubstantiated and bogus allegations against the Nigerian government.

“No credible independent source or government official was contacted to ascertain the veracity of those wild claims yet the sanctimonious and all-knowing newspaper could not exercise any restraint to be sure of its story.

“Is it not preposterous to even suggest that ’4000 people have died in military custody…’ when it is on record that suspected terrorists are held in various facilities while being processed for prosecution?

“At what point then did 4000 people die in military custody? This ludicrous report did not come as a surprise to anybody since this biased mindset against Nigerian government has always characterised this newspaper even before the commencement of the ongoing counter-terrorist operation,” it lamented.

The statement said that the newspaper and its ilk should be reminded that the Nigerian military and by extension the government cannot be intimidated by this patterned bias and supremacist mindset in reporting Africa.

It said having adopted this kind of judgmental posture it will not be surprised by any “phantom video they will release to support their wild claim”.

“We therefore urge the general public to discountenance this obviously jaundiced report or whatever phantom video as it is all aimed at tarnishing the image of Nigerian military. The preposterous interrogative posture of Daily Independent since the inception of the war on terror in Nigeria clearly questions the integrity of the said documentary.

“And is therefore an indication of frantic effort at tarnishing the Nigerian military and ultimately the Nigerian nation. The so called documentary should therefore be taken with a pinch of the salt,” the statement said.

Whenever serious pressure is applied against the rodents at sambissa, you have the amnesty international and all other western propaganda tools shouting themselves hoarse... That is no coincident

Surely we know from the very start that these PINKIES are doing the PSYCH OPS for the HARAMITES. That should not surprise you. Pursuant to their unflagging quest to always scandalize all things Nigerian, the BRITISH press would NEVER miss out on such a report.

The other day when the WORLD BANK issued a report to show that only 33.1% of Nigerians now live below the poverty line ( contrary to the BBC’s preferred and immutable figure of 90%), did you read about it on their website? They were busy blushing behind their consoles.

They put us in this sorry state in the first instance by creating the LIE called Nigeria for their selfish gains. We still got a lot to learn from Egypt and its president AL-SISI

The statement said that the newspaper and its ilk should be reminded that the Nigerian military and by extension the government cannot be intimidated by this patterned bias and supremacist mindset in reporting Africa.

I hope they note this very salient point, it cannot be over-emphasized!

These brits are just clueless always looking for a way to criticise and undermine the effort that our military is putting to end terrorism in Nigeria.GOD BLESS THE NIGERIAN MILITARY;WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.

if it is in nigeria dat a police shoots a citizen .foreign media wont allow us rest but when it is them.vice versa..

These imperialists would not leave our Armed Forces alone to do their job! They keep distracting us and by this, we know they are the real enemy(s) of Nigerians!

Useless terrorist sympathisers!

Since Nigeria refused to join the gay club, Obama and Cameron have been coming up with different versions of conspiracy theories
