The Nigerian army is investigating allegations that soldiers tied up and killed a suspect in the north-east of the country before burying him in a shallow grave. A video widely shared over the weekend appears to show soldiers carrying out the torture and killing. Mayeni Jones reports.

In a statement, the army condemned the acts shown in the video, which it said was likely filmed in north-eastern Nigeria. It added that the culprits would face military justice. The graphic footage shows a half-naked man tied by the elbows and ankles being dragged across a field by men in military fatigues. One of the perpetrators tells the victims he deserves to be punished for making them leave their homes to come to Borno state. The man is eventually dropped into a shallow grave where he shot and buried. It's unclear when the video was filmed.
