ON JANUARY 9, 2017

The Nigeria Army on Monday said it has released 1,250 Boko Haram suspects who have been cleared of no links with insurgency.

Brig.-Gen. Victor Ezugwu, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division of the army, disclosed this when the Head of Sub Delegation of ICRC, Mr Beat Mosimann, visit him at the Maimalari cantonment in Maiduguri.

Ezugwu said that the cleared suspects were released in about seven batches after been cleared of having no link with Boko Haram.

“We are keeping this on the regular release because the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Burutai, want us to ensure that it is only people who has contact and connection with Boko Haram that have insurgency issues to sort that should be detained so that those who do not have contact should be released.

“By the end of this January and February another batch of detainees would be cleared.

“The ICRC wants us to collaborate in the area of welfare for our detainees and we have assured them that we are going to continue doing our best interns of welfare in accordance with the international practice.

“Our approach in handling detained suspects is multi agency so what we do is that we collaborate with NGOs so that once there is gap in what we are doing they will tell us.

“In terms of feeding, we are providing solid Nigerian foods for the detainees; good food supplement that would enhance their wellbeing.

“Access to exercise and the best out of accommodation. We are hoping that things will get better in 2017.’’

Mosimann had earlier said that ICRC has mapped out several programmes in 2017 to assist IDPs who would soon be returning back to their respective librated communities.

“We have discussed with the army on issues of protection of especially that of the detainees which was part of our mandate to see how we can improve on that.

“It is part of our mandate, which was stipulated in Geneva convention, to assist wounded persons not just soldiers but anybody who is wounded in a conflict situation.

“Our job is purely humanitarian. The humanitarian situation had quite improved. We thank the army for supporting the people in librating their communities and ICRC will support this people to go back,” said Musimann.

GEJ and his then Chief of Army staff killed a lot of innocent Northerners. Human right violation was just too much

The North would have killed him had it been he successfully rigged himself in

Na the yoruba soldiers own pain me pass.. OBJ and co who still had boys in the Army got wind of everything, where his doom started.

Remember some igbo soldiers rumored to be killed then? was more like payback and igbo cleansing

boko haram has evolved
fulani haram r now the main thing

If there's anything that's pitifully useless, it's your head that fails to function optimally. Which part of the report says the freed suspects were all arrested during Jonathan's reign? Were these not the same set of people Buhari's govt used as political stunt to give the impression of been serious with arrest and prosecution of Boko haram members and Nigerians were hailing them? Did your head ever care to know why this adminstration failed to prosecute those found to be culpable in the act of terrorism in the last 18 months? Remain gullible for the rest of your life.
