The Shehu of Borno Alhaji Abubakar Umar-Garbai El-Kanemi has commended the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for setting up the Special Independent Investigative Panel on Human Rights Violations in the Counter Insurgency Operations in the North East (SIIP-NE), saying it was in the interest of the region.
The monarch made this commendation during a courtesy visit by the members of the panel to his palace.
While expressing delights at the visit, he said the Emirate is worried about the Reuters’ report, describing it as capable of distracting the military from carrying out its operations which according to him have brought relative peace to Borno state and the North East region in general.
“We are happy with the setting up of the panel by the government, it is a relief to us because we are hopeful that it will get to the root of the matter and unravel the truth,” he stated.
