The presidency on Wednesday explained its decision to authorise the release of women, children and other suspected Boko Haram members currently being detained by Nigeria’s security agencies.

The Nigerian military on Tuesday said it had received a directive from President Goodluck Jonathan to release all the women being held in connection with insurgent activities.

The military also said some other detainees would be released in phases from the different military areas to the respective state governors for onward re-absorption into the society.

In explaining the reason for the authorisation, the presidency said it was part of the interim recommendations of the amnesty committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan.
