Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Paul Ibe, media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has tackled a presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, over his reaction to Atiku\u2019s statement on alleged killing of a protester by the military.<\/p>\n

He said that the recent admission by the military to \u201cmistakenly\u201d killing a 16-year-old boy in Zaria, Kaduna State, was exactly what the former Vice President had alluded to in his statement.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reported that Atiku cautioned the military authorities over the use of lethal force against peaceful civilian protesters.<\/p>\n

Atiku said those who authorise such action against peaceful civilian protesters would be held responsible for committing crimes against humanity, even in the years following their retirement from service.<\/p>\n

However, Onanuga faulted the former Vice President for warning security agencies against using lethal force against looters and arsonists.<\/p>\n

He went on to allege that Atiku wants the protest to continue in spite of what he described as red signals from the streets.<\/p>\n

Responding in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, Ibe told Onanuga that Tinubu, as Commander-in-Chief, knows that even in war there are rules of engagement.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFollowing @atiku\u2019s stern warning to service chiefs and military commanders not to shoot at protesting Nigerian citizens else they face crimes against humanity, the @HQNigerianArmy has admitted to \u201cmistakenly\u201d killing a 16-year-old boy in Zaria, Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe culprit soldier, we are told, has been arrested. That\u2019s accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was exactly what the former Vice President had alluded to, that even those who give the orders for such extrajudicial executions will be held accountable under international laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Commander-in-Chief, @officialABAT knows that even in war, there are rules of engagement. So, @aonanuga1956, there was really no need for you to have been foaming in the mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
