Buhari Vows To Punish Officers, Soldiers Involved In Human Rights Violations by fornaija(m): 8:31am On Sep 13, 2015
By Press Release

President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday in Kaduna reaffirmed his administration's total commitment to the rule of law and warned that proven acts of human rights violation by the Armed Forces would be punished.

Addressing officers, troops and newly commissioned cadets at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), President Buhari reminded them that the rule of law applied to the Armed Forces as much as any other institution in the country.

"I wish to remind you of the Federal Government's commitment to overhaul the rules of engagement and improve operational and legal mechanisms so that disciplinary steps are taken against proven human rights violations by the armed forces.

"We are committed to a thorough investigation of recent and any future occurrences of human rights violations by elements of our Armed Forces.

"While I applaud the integrity and sterling record of the Armed Forces as an institution, this administration will insist on the rule of law, and deal with any proven cases of deviation from laws of armed conflict, including human rights abuses.
