128 suspected members of the Boko Haram sect

they had no ties with the sect. Presenting the
released suspects comprising of 109 men, seven
women, 11 boys and one unattached teenager, to the
state governor, Kashim Shettima, the Chief of Army
Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai said;

"The task of Operation Lafiya Dole can be seen in
three terms, to defeat the insurgents, to facilitate
humanitarian activities and observe human right
and restore the administrative functions in the
liberated area. We are here to formally hand
over those arrested in the process of our
operations; we are pleased to hand over the 128
suspects that have been cleared by the joint
intelligent core, which comprised the Army, the
police and DSS. This is clear manifestation that
the army is clearly professional," Buratai
declared and expressed optimism that the Boko
Haram terrorism would soon come to an end.
We will continue to emphasis that this terrorism
will soon come to an end. We have been
supported by President Muhammadu Buhari; we
are getting more equipment and we are getting
more of our troops redeployed to the operation,"
