The Nigerian military on Thursday denied reports of a forced abortion campaign involving at least 10,000 pregnancies of women and girls in the country’s North-East region.

Fielding a question on the issue, Irabor said:, “That is outright nonsense. Their allusion is news to me. It never occurred. I never saw anything like that from Maiduguri down to Maimalamari Cantonment where I lived that is a major hospital for our personnel and their family. I am disappointed to say the least. So it is not true.

“I was informed by the Director of Defense Information about a mail from Reuters requesting an interview with me. And he gave me a letter written by one Alexander making allegations that have now been published by Reuters. “I simply said he should go back to the person and answer their questions but I’m not going to dignify such a report.

“You’re saying the military since 2013 has been engaged in a planned abortion programme and he said that is part of the government’s design. In that letter, he said that 12,000 abortions have been conducted. But in the published report, we saw ‘at least 10,000’.” The CDS also revisited the infamous shooting at the Lekki Toll Gate in 2020, insisting that the Nigerian military is not interested in “killing its own people.”All rights reserved.
