Nigeria's military denies wrongdoing

Right Group, Amnesty International says Nigeria's army has failed to carry out an impartial  against nine senior officers accused of war crimes.

Its statement came after the army said a special board of inquiry - comprising seven military officers and two lawyers - had exonerated the group of the allegation.

In 2015, Amnesty called for the nine to be investigated for "horrific war crimes" committed by by soldiers as they attempted to put down the insurgency by militant Islamist group Boko Haram.

It added that it welcomed the board's recommendation that a presidential commission of Inquiry should be appointed to investigate the allegations of "horrific war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in north-east Nigeria".
