The Nigerian Army has inaugurated an 18-me<\/var>mber panel to screen and rehabilitate Boko Haram suspects apprehended during the onslaught to dislodge terrorists from the North East states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.<\/div>\n

The 18-member Committee to screen and categorize persons apprehended in connection with terrorism in the ongoing security operations in parts of the country, was inaugurated yesterday by Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Sa\u2019ad Ibrahim.<\/div>\n

According to Brigadier General Chris Olukolade the measure is geared towards the need to further ensure that the legal rights of persons involved are observed.<\/div>\n
