The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has rubbished a recent report by Amnesty International on the spate of killings in Nigeria, particularly in the past two years under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The DHQ, in a statement on Friday, by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, said Amnesty made sweeping generalizations without recourse to the activities and achievements of the Nigerian Armed Forces in combating crimes and terrorism in the country.
As earlier reported by Papers News, Amnesty International said that at least 10,217 people have been killed and 672 villages sacked in the past two years, noting that Benue State recorded the highest number of deaths with 6,896 people killed, followed by Plateau State with 2,630 deaths.
