ASABA- FORMER Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, roared from retirement, weekend, describing the recent release of 128 suspected Boko Haram members by the Chief of Army Staff as the “height of illegality.”

Aduba told Vanguard, “This is a fundamental breach
of the constitution. Under Internal Security
Operations, police remain the foremost internal
security agency; the suspects ought to have been
handed over to the police.”

He said, “After screening, the case file ought to be
forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecution to
determine their culpability before release.
Usurpation of police function is sending a wrong
signal.”

His words, “Amputation of the Nigeria Police Force
will not help, if the Federal Government of Nigeria
feels the police is weak, then it should strengthen the police by overhauling, weeding and equipping them, including overseas training.”

“The military is doing well but should be confined to
their role under Internal Security Operations and rule of law. The world is now a global village, those
released can sue the government for illegal
detention,” he added.

The Nigerian Army, last Wednesday, freed 128
suspected Boko Haram members arrested in
different locations of Borno State.

Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buaratai, who
handed the suspects to the Borno State Governor,
Alhaji Kashim Shettima, said a joint intelligence cell
comprising the Nigerian Army, Police, DSS and
representative of Borno State government screened
the detainees.

Those were the survivors of APC foot soldiers.

Not only will they be released, you may be surprised, they may also be 'settled' overtly and covertly.
