Releases 128 Cleared Detainees
The Chief of
Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai has led Nigerian troops on field
inspection of the recaptured strategic town of Gamboru Ngala, crossing a bridge
to Fatokol where a huge crowd of Nigerians received them with cheers and
emotional tears.
The level of
devastation of the Gamboru Ngala was very pathetic as most infrastructures and
monuments including vehicles, shops and street lights had been destroyed by
Boko Haram terrorists while the town was under their control.
The Army Chief
assured the crowd that with the support of President Muhammadu Buhari, supply
of new equipment and deployment of well-trained troops, the Boko Haram
atrocities would soon come to an end.
Meanwhile
the Nigerian Army has released 128 detainees who have been cleared by the joint
intelligent corps, after certifying that they had no link with the Boko Haram
terrorists group in Borno.
Buratai who
handed over the detainees to Gov. Kashim Shettima said that they were arrested
at different parts of the state by the military in its anti-terrorism campaign.
Buratai said
that after thorough screening by a team of military intelligence officers, the
police and the Department of State Security Service (DSS), the suspects were
found to be clean and were thus released.
He said:
“The task of Operation Lafiya Dole can be seen in three terms – to defeat the
insurgents, to facilitate humanitarian activities and observe human rights and
restore the administrative functions in the liberated area.”
