Nigerian Army vows to deal with officers caught on camera carrying out extrajudicial killing of suspected Boko Haram member

Nigerian Army vows to deal with officers caught on camera carrying out extrajudicial killing of suspected Boko Haram member
Yesterday, a video showing men of the Nigerian Army engaging in extra judicial killing of a suspected member of the terrorist group, Boko Haram, went viral.

Nigerains reacted in shock as the video showed the officers pushing the suspected sect member into a shallow grave, shooting him dead and burying him afterwards. 

In a statement released by its Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Sagir Musa, the Army says it has commenced thorough investigation with the view of getting those involved to face the full wrath of the law. The statement reads

The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to a video reportedly showing some NA personnel engaged in unprofessional torture and above all extra judicial killing of a suspected Boko Haram terrorist likely in the North East Theatre of Operation.
The NA wishes to clearly and strongly condemn the action of those involved (whoever they may be) in the misconduct, and that the dastardly act is completely unacceptable, unethical and is against the cherished core values of the NA especially that of respect for others and their fundamental rights.
NA training, Rules of Engagement and Standing Operating Procedures guiding the conduct of all her operations are unambiguous about human rights abuses and extra judicial actions including the rights of the arrested/captured terrorists/combatants.
Troops in the various theaters of operations in Nigeria, have been consistently warned to desist from rights infractions of any form no matter the amount of desperation, anger or provocation. NA does not license, encourage or condone indiscipline, unprofessional conduct especially extra judicial execution of suspects or combatants. Where ever, such is noticed or reported, once it is comfirmed, appropriate decisive sanction or punishment is usually immediately meted out to the perpetrators and this case would never be an exception.
Accordingly, on seeing the gory video, NA has commenced thorough investigation to apprehend the culprits with the aim to deal with them in accordance with the extant military justice system. Members of the public will surely be informed of the results of the actions taken so far.
The NA, as a responsible and law abiding organization, will remain professional in the discharge of its constitutional roles and will continue to operate within the ambit of the law in line with the local and international best practices.
