ALLEGED MASS KILLINGS: NHRC DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has demanded justice and accountability for civilian victims who were allegedly killed by operatives of the Nigerian Army in the Abisari community in Borno state.
A member of the NHRC Governing Council, Kemi Okonyedo, made the demand at the presentation of the report from the investigative panel on human rights violations in counter-insurgency operations in the North-East, to the army.
The report had vindicated the military of forced systemic abortions administered on women but indicted them of intentionally killing civilians in the Abasari community
Okonyedo is demanding that those affected, be compensated.
“The killing of civilians in Abisari remains a grave violation that demands justice, accountability and immediate action,” she said.
“These are not abstract issues, they are real. Lives affected are real, families impacted exist, and communities impacted are still suffering and must be acknowledged and addressed.
“The recommendations of the panel provide a roadmap for addressing these violations, holding perpetrators accountable and ensuring that similar violations do not occur in the future.
“Among the panel’s key recommendations is compensation for the victims of the Abisari killings with the Federal Government ensuring that the families and communities affected are provided adequate reparations.”
