The Nigerian Army, according to reports from The Vanguard has embarked on the building of a detention centre in Borno state to improve management of detainee rebels during investigations.

The Director of Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Texas Chukwu disclosed this on Friday in Maiduguri, saying, that the project had become imperative to enhance the management of detained insurgents, in accordance with international best practices.

Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai is said, according to the statement to have been represented by The Chief of Logistics, Army Headquarters, Maj.-Gen. Enobong Udoh at the foundation-laying ceremony of the project.

The Chief of Army Staff in a statement said that the ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the North-East had necessitated the arrest and detention of suspected insurgents, who must be properly catered for in accordance with international best practices and that the facility would also serve as transit holding and detention centre
for suspected insurgents before handing them over to the relevant prosecution or rehabilitation agencies.

“The quest for a functional safe holding facility, with adequate sanitary conditions for effective management of suspected insurgents for further investigation, is the driving force behind the execution of the project.

“To relieve the frontline units of the responsibility of administering arrested suspects, there is the need to have a facility where suspects will be kept and properly managed.

“This is the reason why the Joint Investigation Centre was established,” he said.

Feed them with 100 billion too.

Very commendable of the Nigerian Army. Atleast my Boko Haram Soldiers will enjoy first class treatment while they are in detention. I hope the facility is well equipped with standard A.C and 24hrs light and running water? And don't forget to assign #3.5m to each of them for feeding. We must not give room for terrorism in Nigeria

~ProsidentBuhari

Why this useless thinking? So that another multi-billion naira scam of feeding one of them for #3.5M monthly too will start again right? Guess BH have a detention centre for the Nigerian Army too? A good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

They are slowly building this Boko Haram thing into an industry.

Once this become a full blown industry, BH be here forever until the day Nigeria will cease to exist or BH grow wings to overrun the country.

What the government suppose to do is engage intelligence to destroy BH from source instead of waiting for them to attack.

The average man in the north knows where BH hideout is but this government is not sincere.

The army meant to say torture chamber in the class of Nazi concentration camps..

Meanwhile the army is think of providing conducive facilities for mass murderers while they are busy planting bullets upandan on my brothers down south who went to run some bottles in a bar.

Baba God dey watch NA ooh!

people that should be killed to go and meet their virgins, you are wasting tax payers money to build mansion for them... Nonsense.

It’s now I believe that all is game APC are playing. Build detention center for Boko haram terrorist in Maiduguri? After the spend billions to build it and claim feeding no one but just people almajiries there . Because no one will go to check. They knew Boko haram went to face Army in their Barack’s talk less of just camp where you keep their people, within 25 seconds they will get them back. APC should go, because Bunu Sharief knows the way he made money.. He is Boko haram sponsor
