Mr Mattli further applauded the Nigerian Army’s efforts in the ongoing fight against insurgency, adding that giving the ICRC access to their detention facilities across the country was a sign of trust the Army has for the organization. He appealed to the COAS for the integration of International Humanitarian Laws into course contents for officers and soldiers.
Responding, the COAS, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, thanked him for the visit and reaffirmed the Nigerian Army’s adherence to human rights in all its operations. General Buratai commended ICRC for its assistance, particularly in the provision of some amenities in the detention facilities during the visit.
