Nigeria's Defense Chief Defends Military Operations

Nigeria's military is facing questions about how it fights against groups causing trouble in the country.

The head of the military, General Musa, says they are doing their best to avoid hurting innocent people, even if it means the fights take longer.

He mentioned the military sometimes stops its actions to protect civilians, which makes it harder to win quickly.

Some people and groups, like human rights organizations, have said the military uses too much force.

General Musa believes that international laws put limits on the military, while the groups they are fighting against don't have to follow the same rules.
