And General Christopher Musa is <a href=\"https:\/\/thenationonlineng.net\/military-to-sue-reuters-over-false-abortion-allegations-says-cds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demanding an apology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, said the allegation was a ploy to undermine the Nigerian military as it fights terrorism in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter one and a half years of investigation, it was found that it was a complete lie. I was expecting Reuters to come in and apologize for it, but they did nothing. They did not even respond. After maligning the whole country, they have shown no accountability. I think it\u2019s very important that Nigeria takes up this issue. I\u2019ve discussed with the Attorney General, and I think it\u2019s important that Nigeria addresses this. We will not allow anyone to demoralize our troops or malign the country,&#8221; he said, adding,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we realise is that any time we\u2019re making progress, international organizations take it upon themselves to demoralize the country and our troops. We have refused to be demoralized, and we will not be demoralized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE, December 13, 2022:<\/strong> The Nigerian government has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/12\/12\/nigerian-government-rejects-report-on-military-abortion-programme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strongly denounced<\/a> the Reuters report accusing them of forcing women into abortions, calling it a &#8220;body of insults&#8221; against Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Information Minister Lai Mohammed denied the program exists. \u201cThe Federal Government hereby categorically states that there is no \u2018secret, systematic and illegal abortion programme\u2019 being run by our military in the northeast or anywhere across the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>An official statement from the military also denied the claims. \u201cNigerian military personnel have been raised, bred and further trained to protect lives,\u201d it said. \u201c[The] Nigerian military will not, therefore, contemplate such evil of running a systematic and illegal abortion programme anywhere and anytime, and surely not on our own soil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>December 9, 2022:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An exclusive <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reuters Investigates <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/nigeria-military-abortions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report<\/span><\/a>, The Abortion Assault,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has uncovered the horrifying existence of secret and illegal Nigerian army-run forced abortion facilities that brutally victimized thousands of women and girls freed from captivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the report, the Nigerian army\u2019s secret abortion facilities date back to at least 2013 and have forcibly aborted at least 10,000 preborn babies, although that number is believed to be undercounted. The report is based on interviews with 33 women and girls who were victimized \u2013 some as young as 12 years old \u2013 as well as five civilian healthcare workers and nine Nigerian military security personnel involved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNearly all sources for this story said they spoke to Reuters at their peril,\u201d the news agency notes. Reuters also reviewed official Nigerian army records and documentation of the atrocities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>URGENT:\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/future-of-abortion\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=minibomb\"><b><i>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Reuters investigation, the systemic horrors were motivated by a twisted form of preemptive ethnic cleansing: \u201cCentral to the abortion programme is a notion widely held within the military and among some civilians in the northeast: that the children of insurgents are predestined, by the blood in their veins, to one day take up arms against the Nigerian government and society.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interviews with security personnel, including guards who escorted women to the abortion sites, revealed pressure from superiors to \u201cdestroy insurgent fighters before they could be born.\u201d And a civilian health worker who admitted to assisting in the program described it as \u201csanitizing the society.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the pregnant women and girls were freed from the captivity of the Islamic militant group Boko Haram, or a splinter group called Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), which forced them to \u201cmarry\u201d and repeatedly raped them, resulting in their pregnancies. Of those interviewed, only one woman stated that she freely gave her consent to the Nigerian army\u2019s imposed abortion. The rest were \u201cbeaten, held at gunpoint or drugged into compliance, witnesses say.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>URGENT:\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/future-of-abortion\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=minibomb\"><b><i>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One woman, Fati,\u00a0was four months pregnant when she was rescued from insurgents; however, she said it was soon after that that the soldiers chemically aborted her baby without telling her. She received injections and then understood that the soldiers had killed her baby and others. After the women washed the blood down a squat toilet, Fati said they were told, \u201cIf you share this with anyone, you will be seriously beaten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another woman, Bintu, told how soldiers gave her two injections without her consent. She then experienced loss of blood and horrific pain and realized what the soldiers had done. She and other women demanded to know why they had killed their preborn babies, but the soldiers only threatened to kill them. &#8220;If they had left me with the baby, I would have wanted it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forced abortions took place in five military facilities, as well as five civilian hospitals in the country\u2019s northeast, with many taking place in Maiduguri, the largest city in the region, as well as the army\u2019s command center for its war against Islamic insurgents. The military used an elaborate transportation network involving convoys and armed guards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The women \u2013 who were often severely traumatized from their previous ordeal at the hands of Boko Haram \u2013 were forced to take pills, or were given injections to cause abortions while being told the measures would restore their health or fight disease. This happened shortly after their rescue, and they were separated from other rescued women out in the field; others were siphoned off before they reached the perceived safety of civilian or military facilities. Some of the women who resisted the forced abortions were drugged, forced at gunpoint, tied down, or simply beaten until they were too weak to resist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other women died from abortion drugs forcibly administered by the military. Bintu described seeing one such tragic death: \u201cThat woman was more pregnant than the rest of us, almost six or seven months,\u201d she said. \u201cShe was crying, yelling, rolling around, and at long last she stopped rolling and shouting. She became so weak and traumatized, and then she stopped breathing. They just dug a hole, and they put sand over it and buried her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nigerian military leaders attempted to brush aside the report as a form of undermining and discrediting the military\u2019s campaign against Islamic militants. Major General Jimmy Akpor blasted the Reuters investigation as \u201ca body of insults on the Nigerian peoples and culture,\u201d adding that \u201cNigerian military personnel have been raised, bred and further trained to protect lives,\u201d according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/12\/8\/nigeria-denies-mass-abortion-programme-among-victims-of-jihadists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He added that the \u201cNigerian military will not, therefore, contemplate such evil of running a systematic and illegal abortion programme anywhere and anytime, and surely not on our own soil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"paragraph-45\" class=\"article-paragraph\">Major General Musa said,\u00a0\u201cEverybody has free access to what we&#8217;re doing. There is nothing hidden under the sun, nothing. Nobody has ever accused us of any of this. We have not done it. We will not do it. It is not in our character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet the forced abortions \u2013 both at military and civilian facilities \u2013 were said to be committed based on direct orders from military officers, and were part of a clandestine program that included detailed instructions on how to run abortion transports, how to maintain the program\u2019s secrecy, and even where to bury any \u201ccasualties.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program not only violates Nigerian law, where those who commit abortions are guilty of a felony punishable by up to 14 years in prison, but also contravenes the military\u2019s code of conduct which says \u201cunder no circumstances should pregnant women be ill-treated or killed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Reuters, although not specifically criminalized in international criminal law, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/r-kelly-ghislaine-maxwell-forced-abortion-trafficking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forced abortions<\/a> could be punishable as torture or inhumane treatment under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. According to Melanie O\u2019Brien, an Australian professor interviewed for the report, senior military leaders could be prosecuted under a principle of international law called \u201ccommand responsibility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cIt was a harrowing report,\u201d U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said, according to Al Jazeera. \u201cIt\u2019s a concerning report and for that reason, we are seeking further information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pledge.liveaction.org\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=prolife_pledge\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-277267 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pledge-live-action-ad-970x250-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE, January 13, 2025: An investigation from the National Human Rights Commission found no evidence to back up the forced abortion scheme the Nigerian military was accused of perpetrating.
