Attorney Gen. Of The Fed’s First Assignment Is To Probe AI's Report – Buhari by MalcoImX: 2:58pm On Jun 12, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said one of the first assignments for whoever he would appoint as the Attorney-General of the Federation would be to investigate the report released recently by Amnesty International.

The report indicted top officers of the Nigerian military of gross abuse of human rights.

The President, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, insisted that his government would closely study the report.

“The president is quite disturbed by the allegations contained in the report. The next step is to look into the allegations and confirm or disprove the disturbing details,” the statement read.

Shehu added that once the AGF studies the report, he would give the President advice on an appropriate course of action.

This, he added, was in addition to the internal inquiry Buhari had asked the armed services to undertake by themselves.

The presidential spokesman also restated the President’s commitment to human rights, and his promise that there would be no human rights abuses under his government.

“Any allegation of human rights abuse that takes place during the tenure of President Buhari’s government will be swiftly investigated and dealt with,” he said.

It is not unexpected. Buhari has never for once supported Military action against BH under GEJ's administration. Instead of him to concern himself with the victims of BH bastards, he's more concerned with probing the military for fighting BH.

In as much as this is a welcome development but we wants more proactive measure in governance sir especially in the area of curbing corruption and impunity by the high and mighty in the society as the first step toward life for all by the government;this will give positive insight as to what to expect in this new government of change that we your ardent followers clamour for. Thank you

Wrong Approach!

It would have been better if the Attorney General is saddled with local responsibilities

Like How to decongest prisions by evolving innovative solutions that ensures that trial criminal or civil are concluded within a 90 day window with 30 days at most under a judge at any level

That way the hundreds of thousands of awaiting trail suspects will know their fate,

I also sincerely believe that the level of criminality and lawlessness increased as a result of the lackadaisical manner in which trails are handled in Nigeria.

A situation where the chief luncher in a chief Judges Book lunch is an "accused" or a "respondent" in a case being handled by the chief Judge need much to be desired.

Where was Amnesty when American Generals engaged in water Boarding in Abu guraibs Prison, where was Amnesty when Shekau was Nominated By Time Magazine for award.

Our soldiers and their families have made a lot of sacrifices and continue to do so under difficult circumstances and we are grateful to them, they do not need such distraction at this critical period.

Directing the Minister to go on shadow chasing Trip to Sambisa when our Justice system and national legal framework are begging for attention shows that those advising the President are doing this nation a great disservice!

That's a welcome development. The incoming AG should thoroughly investigate the report and ensure only those who have committed war crimes are prosecuted and punished.

Only PDP criminals who used some Nigerian soldiers to commit war crimes in the North East will come out to criticise the attempt to investigate Amnesty Internationals report. Majority of Nigerians want the report investigated and the whole truth about the war crimes committed during the war revealed.

Buhari is simply being fair and seen fair. AI report should be truly investigated and If the Army were holistically found to have extra-judicially killed those whom they are meant to protect the rule of law should take precedence while If nothing was found against them, AI's report would be dumped and trashed.

It is simply fair that PMB investigate this claim. My 50kobo.... This is a new administration and it would be tested both locally and internationally .... Buhari is on the right path for investigating AI's claim.

That is not true.

“There is no justification for this wanton disregard for the sanctity and dignity of human life. Any ideology that trafficks in terror and violence is a devilish ideology that has no place in a civilized society.

“This is the time for our security agencies and those responsible for the security and well-being of our citizens to intensify vigilance in order to mitigate future occurrences.

“Because, it is inconceivable that despite heavy militarization, terrorists and other criminal elements are still able to terrify the defenceless populations of those areas.

“May God grant us the strength and unity to overcome this.”


- General Muhammadu Buhari | Date: February 18, 2014 (under GEJ's administration)

Your resort to falsehood confirms your lack of anything of substance to criticize this laudable move.

***

The AG should leave no stone unturned in this investigation, as more information about the sponsors of the blood sucking animals could be gathered in the process. Those that argue that this investigation with possible prosecution and incarceration might negatively affect the morale of the officers should note that as at today, a total of 509 officers and soldiers are facing separate courts martial for offences relating to conspiracy, disobedience to lawful orders, neglect and mutiny as a result of the corruption and impunity that reigned under Goodluck Jonathan's tenure as Commander-in-chief, mostly due to the lack of effective leadership which would have put the service chiefs to task and ensured they were accountable for their actions and inactions. Why should they face the courts while their superiors enjoy their looted billions?

There is no fallen morale worse that that which led frustrated soldiers to shoot at their senior officer some months ago. Apart from the lack of equipment and welfare which could trigger such an extreme action, being asked to round up 200+ civilians to slaughter because ONE person was identified as a neighbour to the rest, definitely leaves mental and psychological scars on these human soldiers.

The period of accountability is here. It should be noted that PMB did not order this investigation (to warrant witch-hunting claims), and his pursuance of this indictment is an indication of his commitment, and is critical to his domestic and international success in eliminating Boko Haram.

.This matter is a very controversial issue, I believe pmb will be doing the nation good, if he sweeps that report on under the carpet. For the sake of the morale of our troops on the front line, that report should not be attended to.

Indeed, we must identify all the sponsors, accomplices, leaders and fighters of Boko Haram and bring them to justice for violating the human rights of those killed, the human rights of their families and dependants.
