According
to acting Director of Army Public Relations Col Sani Kukasheka Usman,
the released Nigerians were handed over to Borno State govt through the

while the two foreigners were however handed over to the Borno State
Command of the Nigerian Immigration Service. The released detainees were
advised to remain law abiding, go about their lawful businesses and

N3,000 for wrong accusation and violation of human right? Common FG!
