"The (prisoner release) measure, which is in
line with presidential magnanimity to enhance peace efforts in the country,

Brigadier-General Chris Olukolade said.
According a news report by Reuters, security source
said the gesture aimed to win over a population in the remote northeastern
region wavering between fear of Boko Haram and resentment of the army's tough
tactics.File photo: Boko Haram suspects |
