As the military offensive to dismantle Boko
Haram terrorists activities and the camps in
North East Nigeria continues, President
Goodluck Jonathan has directed the release
from Police, SSS and Military detention centers,
of hundreds of persons held in connection with the insurgency. The action of the President which took many Nigerians and security agencies by surprise is however interpreted by presidency sources as the ‘Carrot and Stick’ policy by the Commander in Chief to bringing an end to the Boko Haram debacle. Vanguard gathered that the beneficiaries will cut across such states as Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi, Kano, `Kaduna, Gombe and Niger, though the exact number was not revealed. The federal government however explained that the decision to order the release is sequel to the request of the Presidential Committee in Dialogue and Reconciliation set up to explore
the possibility of amnesty for converted terrorists. A statement to that effect signed by the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade said “Consequent upon the directives of the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the Defence Headquarters will be releasing from detention a number of persons being held in connection with terrorist activities”. “The move is in furtherance of the Federal Government position in response to requests by the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Reconciliation”. “The measure which is in line with Presidential magnanimity to enhance peace efforts in the country will result in freedom for suspects including all women under custody”. “The details of the directives and those to benefit from this gesture have been communicated to field units and the Joint Task Force”. “The beneficiaries will be released to the State Governors who will be involved in further rehabilitation before these suspects are released to their respective community leaders and relations”.

arcbabe: Jonathan is the most confused president nigerian has ever had,I wasted my vote and will never make such mistake again come 2015

Babe,dont conclude yet...i strongly beleive it must be for a reason.
As long as d reason will bring a lasting end to d security unrest in d north. I think its commendable.

Front page story

Where are the rights activists? A supposed democratic govt seizes citizens including women and children and keeps them in squalid conditions for months and months and years. Their offence - suspected, yes suspected, of committing unwritten crime! On what evidence- none, just for propaganda ("10,000 bh in custody". These people unjustly detained without trial for so long should sue federal govt and claim punitive damages. Even if corrupt and irrespon.sible judges dance to the tune of naira music at least the ungodly, unislamic, unchristian, inhuman wickedness of Gej-led purposeless govt would hav been exposed.

But seriously i hope oga on top knws wot he is doing.
Tot he would have locked ds blood suckers into a room and set it ablaze.

OP 1st and foremost I think u should edit ur title post, its misleading, he ordered release of some, not all, so pls get ur facts right.
Down to d onion of the matter, I only hope he knows wat he's doing and making an informed decision, dat said I'll just sit and watch how this turns out.

This is the best way to live in peace and SUSTAIN a lasting peace in Nigeria.

What would they have done with about 100 terrorists?? Kill them??

Won't others keep killing??

This is the best approach...!!!

The freed terrorists who spread the "gospel" to others out there..

Else, we will only keep killing, killing, 'revenging', 'avenging', killing and killing till 'only God knows!

Acidosis: This man is very intelligent...
