Buhari Assures Amnesty International To Examine Report On Torture

President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday acknowledged receipt of the Amnesty International report on Nigeria titled “Nigeria: Stories of horror in their own words” and promised to take a look into it.

According to the Senior Special Assistant (Media & Publicity), Garba Shehu in a press statement in Niamey, Niger Republic, President Buhari has received the report which he says contains many disturbing allegations.

President Buhari assured his administration will study the document and act appropriately.

“I assure you that your report will be looked into,” President Buhari said.

He said without meaning to prejudice the outcome of any investigation, Nigerians needed to be reassured that “this administration will leave no stone unturned to promote the rule of law, and deal with all cases of human rights abuses.

“Respect for human rights and adherence to the rule of law are the life and soul of the democratic system. We will not tolerate or condone impunity and reckless disregard for human rights.”
