HURIWA Asks Reuters To Report Self To ICC Over Abortion Allegations Against Nigerian Military

Prominent civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), on Thursday, queried a report by United Kingdom-based international media outfit, Reuters, that the Nigerian military has since 2013 conducted a secret and illegal abortion programme in the terror-torn North-East zone.

 

HURIWA Asks Reuters To Report Self To ICC Over Abortion Allegations Against Nigerian Military

 

 

HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement, said assuming but not conceding that the report by Reuters is correct, then, the news organisation did a disservice to the people of Nigeria and all lovers and advocate of human rights by keeping sealed lips since 2013 when it discovered such scheme.

 

 

 

 

HURIWA described as misleading, the report by Reuters because the group sounded the just days ago that a foreign news organisation is fanning the embers of hatred against the Nigerian Army and peddling false or exaggerated accusations supposedly to weaken the military and help arms supplies to sell more weapons to terrorists.
The Army has since denied the allegations, however, HURIWA challenged Reuters to report itself to the International Criminal Court in The Hague if it is indeed confident that it is armed with enough evidence that the Nigerian military has been carrying out illegal abortions of ladies and girls raped by Islamist militant since 2013.

According to Reuters Investigation released on December 7, 2022, since at least 2013, the Nigerian military conducted a secret and illegal abortion programme in the northeast, ending at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls kidnapped and raped by Islamist militants. Those who resisted were said to have been whipped into compliance.

The false report has raised dust in the last few hours since its release with the international community expressing concerned over alleged human rights abuses and extra-judicial actions.

Commenting, HURIWA’s Onwubiko said, “The ‘Abortion Assault’ report by Reuters is shocking and misleading altogether, considering that Nigeria is a State party to the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
There is little doubt that with the report the following are also culpable if at all the story is true-: 1. The UNDP in Abuja and Maiduguri. 2. The ICRC in Nigeria. 3. The Amnesty International. 4. The MSF. 5. The Borno State Government. 6. The Police.

  1. All the International NGOs in the North East. Let Reuters come clean of this falsehood and cheap blackmail.

“While HURIWA assumes but not concedes that the report is factual, it is far too late as many waters have gone past the bridge, as the report stated. This brings to question why Reuters waited from 2013 till date for it to release the indicting report after thousands of rights abuses allegedly by the Nigerian military.

“HURIWA warns foreign media outlets to stop sinister reports capable of causing upheaval like in the aftermath of the EndSARS.

“Also, HURIWA challenges Reuters to report itself to the International Criminal Court in The Hague and present incontrovertible evidence it claimed to have on the case. None of those involved in this illegal and gross violation of human rights should go scot-free.”

Let’s reflect as we wrap-up 2024″By Prudent Ludidi

 

As we stand here today, we are on the threshold of a new year. A year full of possibilities, opportunities, and promise. But before we step into the unknown, let’s take a moment to reflect on 2024.

Let's reflect as we wrap-up 2024"By Prudent Ludidi

Look back on the triumphs and the struggles. The moments that made you proud and the moments that made you question yourself. Think about the goals you set and the ones you achieved.

Reflection is not about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning from it. It’s about identifying what worked and what didn’t. What you can improve on and what you can let go of.

As you reflect on the past year, remember that you are not the same person you were these couple of months ago. You’ve grown, you’ve learned, and you’ve evolved.

Don’t be too hard on yourself about the mistakes you made or the opportunities you missed. Instead, focus on the progress you’ve made and the strength you’ve gained.

Now, as we wrap up this year and prepare for the next, ask yourself:

What do I want to achieve in the coming year?

What habits do I want to form?

What relationships do I want to nurture?

What skills do I want to develop?

What dreams do I want to chase?

The upcoming year is a blank canvas, waiting for you to paint your masterpiece. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. You have the power to create the life you want.

So, as we near the close of this chapter and begin a new one, remember that every ending marks a new beginning. Every setback is an opportunity for growth. And every success is a stepping stone to greater things.
