 The National Human Rights Commission's special independent investigative panel in northeast arrived Amateru Yobes state on facts finding mission. The panel was set up following allegations of mass human abuses by the military in the northeast by Reuters. The deputy director, corporate affairs of the commission Fatima Mohamed said the allegations of human rights violations are not ordinary and should not be swept under the carpet. This panel was set up in the following terms of reference. The first one is to investigate the allegations of gross violations of national and international human rights law and principles alleged in the Reuters report against the Niger armed forces. The panel is also charged with receiving memoranda from individuals and organizations with interest in the subject matter of the mandate of the panel. The mandate of the National Human Rights Commission is to investigate cases of human rights violations. And these are heinous cases of human rights violations, which of course, ordinarily should not be left to be swept under the carpet. I'm on earth and I'm saying this truth, as far as I am, so I'm not any other person, I've never known this, I've never witnessed this, in fact, I'm here to do this for the first time. Such a thing will definitely come to my knowledge, either officially or unofficially, but I'm still retreating to you, that is the best of my knowledge and not the worst of my knowledge. And I think that's never going to happen, and in fact, we'll never send you such a heinous case.
