Mass abortions in Nigeria-military denies
Budrigannews.com – Nigeria’s Protection Boss, General Fortunate Irabor, said on Thursday that the tactical won’t explore a Reuters report that it ran a mystery mass early termination program in light of the fact that the report was false.
When reporters in Abuja inquired about the report, Irabor stated that the military “will not investigate what you know is not true.”
He said, speaking at a news conference about the country’s insurgency, terrorism, and banditry, “I don’t think I should waste my energy in such things.”

On Wednesday, Reuters reported that the Nigerian Army has been operating a covert, systematic, and illegal abortion program in the northeast of the country since at least 2013. According to dozens of witness accounts and documents reviewed by Reuters, the program has resulted in the termination of at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls, many of whom had been kidnapped and raped by Islamist militants.
Irabor, who was in charge of the military in the northeast during the time covered by the report in 2016, claimed that the cases mentioned in the report never took place and that he had never witnessed anything similar.
