Mass Abortion - Panel Begins Probe of Nigerian Military PremiumTimesng: Nigeria
The Abdu Aboki-led Special Independent Investigative Panel on Human Rights Violations set up by the Nigerian government to probe the allegations of gross rights violation by the country's military has commenced sitting in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.
Mr Ogunsakin, who heads all military medical facilities under the 7 Division Nigeria army, denied most of the claims published in the Reuters report. "When troops rescue civilian victims from Boko Haram or during a crossfire, they are usually rescued and taken to the rear of the advancing forces where they are given emergency care before they are taken either by road or by chopper to the 7 Division Hospital in Maiduguri where they are medically examined, given needed treatment and then handed back to the Theater Command from where they are taken to the government-owned hospital for further medical attention.
"The Consultant Obstetric gynaecologist treats the patients for any ailments that may have been diagnosed and ensure that they are stable. The patient would be handed back to the Theater of Operation for onward delivery to the State Emergency Management Agency ," he said. On the alleged"illegal, forced and unconsented abortions, Mr Ogunsakin said:"The allegation is highly fallacious because even as military doctors, we have signed an oath to protect lives, and the care for our patients is paramount over any other thing; we prioritize the patients care and wellbeing to what end would we kill innocent lives in the name of abortion which is killing people.

Nigerian Presidential Candidates Are in Final Push for VotesTwo of the three candidates considered front runners in Nigeria's February 25 presidential rallies held their first major rallies this week, with security a key topic on the campaign trail, writes Timothy Obiezu for VOA. In the capital of Abuja, thousands of supporters, mostly youths, chanted praise for Labour Party's (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi. He is riding a wave of momentum after two public opinion polls published by Nigerian newspapers this week showed him leading the candidates from Nigeria's two biggest political parties - the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). A pre-presidential election opinion survey by global business and economic news platform, Bloomberg News, has projected Obi as the leading runner ahead of Nigeria's presidential election. He told his supporters he will tackle Nigeria's insecurity, build up the economy and improve local manufacturing to limit Nigeria's dependence on foreign products. During a campaign rally in northern Kano state, PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar spoke to supporters. Abubakar promised to revamp agriculture and commerce in Kano if elected the next president of the country. Atiku 76, lost a presidential bid to current President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. The recent violence has included attacks on officials from Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission, raising concerns about safety on election day. Authorities say they're taking steps to make sure voters and election workers are safe and that the voting will proceed without disruption. Eighteen presidential candidates will participate in Nigeria's polls. The new president will be sworn in on 29 May and will be constitutionally mandated to manage Nigeria's security governance architecture between 2023 and 2027.
