Nigeria\u2019s military run a secret abortion programme in the country\u2019s troubled North-East, <\/a>terminating at least 10,000 pregnancies since 2013.<\/p>\nThe CDS insisted that the allegation by Reuters was spurious and unfounded, saying because the military had nothing to hide, hence the call for an independent investigation.<\/p>\n
He charged the commission to carry out the investigation in line with its responsibilities.<\/p>\n
According to him, the armed forces as an establishment of the Federal Republic is bound by the Nigerian constitution to operate based on local and international laws.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn recent times, there have been reports which alluded that the armed forces is involved in government programme of abortions in the northeast of Nigeria from 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that report was published by Reuters and of course when we looked at it, we felt this is certainly not us and it does not indeed represent the professional standing of the armed forces of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere we have footprints of operations in line with the dictates of the constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe felt that perhaps there are some extra territorial powers that want to weaken the strength of the armed forces being at the forefront of the current engagements that seeks to bring peace to our land.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so some actions need to be taken but of course, being bound by law, being guided by laws, we\u2019ve taken a look and we felt that the right establishment that should undertake investigation is the national Human Rights Commission.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it is in that light that I have come to formally inform you if perhaps you are not thinking about it that we as an armed force stand ready for any investigation, and I think in this case, the NHRC stands a good ground to carry out an investigation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Irabor assured the commission that the military would grant it unfettered access to all its establishments across the country.<\/p>\n
He also gave assurance that the personnel of the armed forces would be available to answer questions in the course of the investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are doing this because we believe we have remained very transparent in our personal engagements and so we have nothing to fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also indicated before now that the report is evil.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe felt that since we are the crux of the allegation it is necessary for us to give you that assurance that we stand ready for you to carry out that investigation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
