The Federal Government of Nigeria
says it will release suspected Boko Haram members from detention, once it is
established that they are not insurgents.
The FG also explained its policy
of integrating the Civilian Joint Task Force into the security forces, giving
them concession,n without jettisoning such requirements as medical fitness, educational
qualification, federal character principle and others.
Minister of Defence, Brig.
General Dan Mansur-Ali (retd), who disclosed these in Maiduguri, Borno State,
at the special town hall meeting on security situation in the North East, said
every relevant agency including medical doctors, psychologists, judiciary
officers and others, was working round the clock to ensure they were properly
profiled.
Through the “Operation Safe
Corridor,” he said, those cleared after painstaking screening would be
released.
“We have so many tables they are
going through what level of depth some of these prisoners have been with the
Boko Haram. Some of them are being sourced; some are going to be released; some
of them will be detained. It’s an issue of time; and the judiciary is also
doing its own part.
“The Attorney General of the
Federation is in consonance with the Ministry of Defence, Defence Headquarters
and other medical personnel that are searching through these people to source
out, so that those that have very criminal cases will be removed and others
will be free as soon as possible,” he said.
