Army denies claim
The authorities of the Nigerian Army have denied reports linked to an investigation purportedly carried out by Amnesty International at a military detention centre in Maiduguri, which claimed that people, including women and children, are dying due to poor medical attention and other dehumanizing conditions.
A press release by the human rights group, published on its website decried the condition of the detention camp for suspects accused of being Boko Haram members at the Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, leading to the death of about 149 people including 11 children under six years. And called on President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate these findings and intervene.
