President Buhari on Saturday in Kaduna reaffirmed his administration's total commitment to the rule of law and warned that proven acts of human rights violation by the Armed Forces would be punished.
Addressing officers, troops and newly commissioned cadets at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), President Buhari reminded them that the rule of law applied to the Armed Forces as much as any other institution in the country.
"I wish to remind you of the Federal Government's commitment to overhaul the rules of engagement and improve operational and legal mechanisms so that disciplinary steps are taken against proven human rights violations by the armed forces.
"We are committed to a thorough investigation of recent and any future occurrences of human rights violations by elements of our Armed Forces.
"While I applaud the integrity and sterling record of the Armed Forces as an institution, this administration will insist on the rule of law, and deal with any proven cases of deviation from laws of armed conflict, including human rights abuses.
"In operational conduct Nigerians expect our Armed Forces to keep law and order, and not to behave like bullies.
"Let me reiterate this administration's commitment to due process, merit and total observance of the rule of law as central pillars of a prosperous and democratic society.
"Rule of law as an element of good governance applies to the Armed Forces as much as any institution in our country. It is therefore gratifying that all three Services have recently taken steps to emphasize strict adherence to rules in recruitment, promotions, procurement, project executions and civil-military relations," the President said at the passing out of Officer Cadets of the NDA's 62 Regular Course and Short Service Course 43.

I hope he remembers to punish himself for all the human right violations the did too because up till today, he has not apologized for them . Meaning he sees nothing wrong with it. Practice what you preach Mr president. We don tire for I will , I will. It's time to do something about the economy. Corruption has gotten enough attention and it has not changed the price of food in the market. Youths are still unemployed so please get to work on issues that will have direct effect on Nigerians. Biko we do tire for corruption talks.
ReplyDeleteanon 16:46 educate yourself and watch his interview where he commented on some actions he took while he was in the military. You cannot compare military life and actions to civilian life and actions.
ReplyDeleteHe still needs to publicly apologize to Nigeria. Then he can start prosecuting.
DeleteYou surely can't compare military regime to civilian regime but you must agree with me that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Buhari is the same. He will never change
