The Nigerian military on Tuesday accused Amnesty International of spreading false information over the kidnap of 110 schoolgirls in the northeastern state of Yobe on February 19. Amnesty had claimed that the Nigerian military was warned that Boko Haram was heading to kidnap the schoolgirls but failed to act. And so, could not have ignore warning of Boko Haram attack only to work tirelessly to get the girls back. Amnesty International always brings out damming reports about the Nigerian Military at strategic points. Within this year, Amnesty International issued reports against the Military in January 2018, February 2018 and now March 2018.
