The Nigerian Army has dismissed allegations that it is guilty of war crimes in the prosecution of the battle against insurgency
Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman while reacting to the submission by the International Criminal Court, ICC, said the Nigerian Army has not been arraigned before any court for this.
Usman said, the Army has not been accused of any wrong doing let alone being arraigned before any court.
He said although it is true that the OTP is currently investigating allegations of human rights violations made against the Army, and that investigation is still at its preliminary stages and does not translate to standing trial, let alone being found guilty.
