A group, known as Igbo World Union, has expressed strong reservations over the reported release of 113 out of the 486 detained Boko Haram suspects arrested penultimate Sunday in Abia en route to Port Harcourt.President
General of the group, Chief Mishak Nnanta, who spoke with Sunday PUNCH in Umuahia in the wake of the alleged gradual release of the suspects, said, “Nigeria is playing with fire, if indeed anybody among these suspects who pose grave danger to our lives and national unity, has been freed in such a haste”.The News Agency of Nigeria had reported that 133 indigenes of Jigawa State among the suspects were last Friday handed over to the state government amidst grand reception.IWU said while it “ is not opposed to the freedom of any innocent suspect”, caution, however, should be exercised when dealing with terror suspects.” He said it still beats the imagination why about 486 self-acclaimed job seekers, led by confirmed Boko Haram kingpins on the wanted list of security agents, should be travelling on a convoy under the cover of darkness.”
