  abstract = {{T}he {N}igerian army has long had a poor human rights record. {F}rom the times of the {B}iafra {W}ar (1967-1970) to massacres of {B}oko {H}aram members in 2009 and clashes with the {S}hiite minority in 2015, soldiers and officers have perpetrated widespread and serious violations. {C}orruption, impunity, a weak chain of command and lack of accountability, qualifications, training, recruitment, supplies, and control by civilian authorities explain their wrongdoings, together with the military dictatorships of the 1970s and 1980s and the war on terror since 2009. {S}uch problems are still prevalent as {N}igeria heads for general elections in 2019. {T}his article thus shows that lessons were not learned despite the democratization process since the end of military rule in 1999.},
