President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the immediate release of a fresh batch of over 165 persons apprehended by security agencies in connection with the onslaught on Boko Haram terrorism in the North East States of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States.
A statement signed by Major General Chris Olukolade, Director of Defence Information said, “Over 165 persons apprehended in the course of military operations on terror in three states in the North-East are to be released from custody in compliance with Presidential directive”.
“The suspects are those earlier recommended for release by the Joint Investigation Team, (JIT) set up by the Defence Headquarters last year”.
“Of the number, 157 are from facilities in Borno, 9 from Yobe and one suspect from Adamawa”.

Olukolade recalled that other detainees, particularly women and children have benefited from similar gestures which started in May last year.
“More suspects in this category are also to benefit in the present exercise” he said.
“The suspects will be released to their respective state governments”.

@Ndu-chuks..,now that two out of three of your demands have been met, what do you have to say?

But honestly, I insist the refineries should be sold. If it can't be done this year, then it should be done immediately after the 2015 elections.

This is why I continue to say that GEJ's handlers are incompetent and should be replaced before they completely ruin this good man. Instead of releasing 165 of these prisoners, most of who are teenagers and women, held for over 6 months without charges, the President should have ordered the release of ALL such prisoners!

If he had done that, coupled with the announcement of very elaborate compensation for these victims, I would have been more impressed. The President's handlers continue to miss opportunities for very significant wins. Eitherway, I acknowledge the President's goodwill gesture.

I also agree that refineries should be sold, but not to the cronies of the Minister of Petroleum, who did not see it fit to discuss the potential sales with the President. Government should not be running corporations and should focus on governance. I believe all corporations, including NNPC, should not be run by government agencies, just as public for corporations, should not be running social welfare programs.

Just look at the photographs of these kids!! They are nothing but victims who should compensated.

Oh please shut it already, so because they are "kids" they all should be released without proper investigation?
Those who parades themselves as boko haram are not above the age of 25, the same age range with the ones about to be released. Why not ask GEJ to withdraw the troops @ maiduguri so that you bittered souls will be happy.

PDP = Boko Haram.

Boko Haram = PDP
