The Nigeria Army on Friday said it has transferred 760
suspected Boko Haram members to Borno Government for reintegration into the
society. Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations,
Theatre Command Operation Lafiya Dole, disclosed this in a statement issued in
Maiduguri.
Nwachikwu said that the suspects were handed over to the
government at the Bulunkutu State Rehabilitation Centre, Maiduguri.
He disclosed that the suspects were arrested during the
ongoing crackdown on the insurgents in the North-East by troops of Operation
Lafiya Dole.
He explained that the suspects were cleared after
interrogations and investigations by the Joint Intelligence Centre (JIC) of the
Theatre Command.
He added that the suspects were handed over to the state
government by the Coordinator of the JIC, Brig.-Gen. Abdulrahman Kuliya.
“The JIC has cleared 760 suspects. The crackdown on Boko
Haram terrorists is yielding positive results, culminating in significant
reduction in terrorists’ activities in the North-East,” the statement quoted
Kuliya as saying.
He called on members of the public to cooperate and provide
useful information to security agencies on suspicious activities in their
communities.
