Two Al Jazeera journalists held by the Nigerian military since March 24 have been released, the network has confirmed.

Ahmed Idris and Ali Mustapha were allowed to leave the Maiduguri hotel, where they were detained, and they have now completed the journey back to Al Jazeera’s bureau in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

“We’re pleased for Ahmed and Ali that their ordeal is over. They’re looking forward to spending some time with their families and loved ones,” Salah Negm, director of news for Al Jazeera English, said.

“I know that both of them want to thank everyone that helped secure their release, including NGOs, politicians and fellow journalists.”

The Doha-based network had called for an immediate end to their detention, which began on March 24 in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno. The pair were covering the Nigerian military’s operations against the terror sect, Boko Haram.

The journalists had had their phones confiscated by authorities and have not been allowed to contact the outside world.

Good

Since the day GMB was announced president elect

Fayose had been having series of nightmares he just can't leave the post of governor and run away.
FFK finally got part of his misplaced senses... Couldn't believe when he said we should think about Nigeria first before thinking of our tribe religion or party
Okupe had not been found, maybe his still searching for his misplaced senses or he don relocate go togo
Bode George is already looking for a way to disappear
Mama pieces had been quiet
Obanikoro had turned dumb, he was gallivanting everywhere before
Madueke and ogar now begging abdulsalam to help them beg... Imagine see as den disguise like boko haram members on mission "blow den up"
Opc don quiet, afenifere don borrow small brain

Finally this nation is heading to the top again where it truly belongs
