It was a
sunny afternoon in the year 2014, wailing and crying could be heard from far
away in the city of Maiduguri followed by the sound of bullets which created a
picture of a war movie acted by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Mothers were scrambling
around looking for their sons, wives however were longing for their husbands as
young children became fatherless due to the merciless bullets of the Nigerian
Army – men that were allegedly mistaken for terrorists were murdered in cold
blood. Earlier before these scenario, the Boko Haram sect had launched an
attack on Giwa Barracks in
Maiduguri, smokes from detonated bombs filled the
air as terrorists broke a jail where their members were locked up by the
Nigerian Army. The Boko Haram sect claimed the attack and said they had freed
about 2,000 of their brothers in jail, some of whom recounted at length their
experience at the facility, alleging torture by the military.A report by the Amnesty International disclosed that between 2012 and 2014, about 1200 men and boys had been unlawfully-executed by the military. It further reveals that more than 7,000 people have died in military custody since March 2011 as a result of appalling conditions. “When we were thirsty, we they drank urine, and watched fellow inmates die after our cells were fumigated with chemicals meant for killing mosquitoes,” a Boko Haram detainee said. Charges The aggrieved persons had leveled several charges against the Nigerian army – regarding gross misconducts on the line of duty. Unfortunately, the charges were swept under the carpet. However, the case of the 640 men and boys who were allegedly murdered is yet to be buried in silence and shrouded in mystery. According to Amnesty International (AI), in March 2014, the Nigerian military slaughtered about 640 men and boys in cold blood after a jailbreak in Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria. The incident stirred debates within the time of its occurrence, but two years later, no one has been held accountable for the mass murder and a colossal violation of the rights to live and to fair hearing.
The inappropriate revenge Reports affirm that the terrorists fled the city with many detainees who wanted to join the group. The Nigerian military allegedly responded to the assault on Giwa barracks with murder. About 1600 of the detainees who broke out were said to have been arrested via some “screening” operations in which entire communities in and around Giwa were rounded up and young males were picked out, without any evidence of having committed a crime.
Once back in custody, soldiers shot some of them in cold blood on the streets, and took the rest out of town and murdered them. Investigations reveal that bodies of the victims were buried in multiple mass graves.
