JUST IN: Your report false, lacks evidence, FG tackles Reuters
The Federal Government claims that the Reuters report on the military is untrue. Reuters is a global news agency.
According to Reuters, the Nigerian Army has operated an unlawful, systematic, and covert abortion operation there since at least 2013.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, claimed that the study lacked sufficient proof to establish its veracity when speaking at an event in Abuja on Monday intended to present the scorecard of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation under Buhari.
The report added that at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls, many of whom had been kidnapped and raped by terrorists had been forcefully terminated.
Following the Reuters investigation, the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, called on Nigerian authorities to investigate allegations against the service.
Contradicting the report, the minister of information said, “A foreign news agency recently released a report on the military. They made these allegations without a piece of singular evidence, citing only anonymous sources and a review of phantom documents.
“The writers deserve an award in fiction writing.”
