Nigeria’s Human Rights Commission has announced that its investigation found no evidence of an alleged abortion program conducted by the Nigerian military.
The reports, which surfaced two years ago, claimed the military had intentionally targeted women and children or conducted covert abortions as part of its operations against Islamist insurgents in the northeast.
Reuters initially published these findings, alleging that thousands of pregnancies had been terminated, often without the consent of the women involved.

The Nigerian military has also denied the allegations made by the news agency in its report.
