The Nigerian Army has concluded plans to release over 200 detainees
cleared of any links to the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist sect.

The detainees were arrested by the military in a bid to end terrorism
activities in the northern region, a move which has lasted over a
decade.

It was gathered that the detainees would be handed over to the Borno
State Government for proper reintegration into the society.

The event will take place at Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, the state
capital, on Tuesday

“Not fewer than 200 cleared Boko Haram suspects that are being cleared
of any wrongdoing by security operatives, and they will be hand over to
the Borno State Government for rehabilitation and reintegration.

“The handing over ceremony is set to be this morning (Tuesday) at Giwa
Barracks,” a source said.

The source said the State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Zuwaira Gambo,
and Information and Internal Security counterpart, Prof Tar Umar, will
receive the clear detainees on behalf of the state government.
