Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers
State, has urged the Nigerian military to take a critical look at the
recruitment processes of its personnel to check alleged issues of human rights
abuses by its officers.
Wike gave the charge when the
Presidential Investigating Panel to Review Compliance of the Armed forces with
Human Rights Obligation and Rules of Engagement paid a courtesy visit on him at
Government House in Port Harcourt yesterday.
Represented by his Deputy Dr.
Ipalibo Banigo, Wike expressed confidence on the panel’s ability to fashion out
a sustainable mechanism to deal with issues of human rights abuses by security
agencies.
He reiterated his commitment to the
unity of the country, adding that he would not support any secessionist agenda
because God, in his infinite wisdom, had put Nigeria together as one and the
country would continue to remain one.
