Exposed! How Military secretly released 1009 Ex- Boko Haram fighters in their custody

By our correspondent

The Nigerian military on Wednesday reportedly released 1,009 ex-Boko Haram insurgents, who had been in the military custody at Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.


The former terrorists were handed over to the Borno State Government in a secret ceremony that was initially billed to take place at an earlier date but was suspended indefinitely by the military authorities at the wake of the appointment of the new COAS.


According to sources in the army, the ex-terrorists were handed over to the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Zuwaira Gambo, who represented the state government at the event.


The officer said, “The army handed 1,009 Boko Haram insurgents to the state government Wednesday. It was done in secret. We were warned not to allow journalists to the venue.”


Efforts to reach the Army Public Relations Officer, Operation Hadin Kai, Col. Ado Isa, proved abortive.
Gambo did not reply to a text message to her phone too
