Nigeria's human rights commission said on Friday an investigation had found "no evidence" that the Nigerian military deliberately attacked women and children or carried out secret abortions in its fight against an Islamist insurgency in the northeast. The Nigeria Human Rights Commission, which is appointed by the government, had been investigating three Reuters reports published in December 2022 which found the Nigerian military ran a secret, systematic and illegal abortion programme and massacred children in the northeast, where the insurgency has been going on for 15 years.
