Buhari To Probe Amnesty International Report On Torture


President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledge the receipt of the Amnesty International report on Nigeria titled “Nigeria: Stories of horror in their own words” and has promised to investigate the report.

A statement by the senior Special Assistant (Media & Publicity), Mal. Garba Shehu in Niamey, Niger Republic on Wednesday, said that President Buhari has received the report which he says contains many disturbing allegations.


According to Shehu, President Buhari assured his administration will study the document and act appropriately. “I assure you that your report will be looked into,” President Buhari said.

He said without meaning to prejudice the outcome of any investigation, Nigerians needed to be reassured that “this administration will leave no stone unturned to promote the rule of law, and deal with all cases of human rights abuses.

“Respect for human rights and adherence to the rule of law are the life and soul of the democratic system. We will not tolerate or condone impunity and reckless disregard for human rights.”
