Amnesty International Nigeria has accused the Nigerian authorities of attempting to cover up the mass killing of over 120 civilians in the recent Kaduna drone attack by the military.
AI said the contradictory explanations from the military betrayed their plot to sweep the incident under the rug without any investigation or justice for the lost lives.
Organisation’s director, Isa Sanusi, made this accusation in a statement.
Penultimate Sunday, over 100 villagers were killed and many others injured by a misfired drone belonging to the Nigerian Army.
The AI director lambasted the military for releasing conflicting explanations on the Tudun Biri incident.
“The contradictory explanations offered by the Nigerian military so far show their complete disregard for civilian lives and suggest attempts by the authorities to cover up these grave human rights violations. Air strikes with deadly consequences for civilians are becoming routine. This is completely unacceptable,” Sanusi said.
