The Muslim Rights Concern on Thursday commended President Muhammadu Buhari for ordering the release of Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) and Omoyele Sowore, urging him to extend the gesture to the 54 soldiers serving jail term “for allegedly asking for better weapons to fight the Boko Haram insurgency.” 

The Department of State Security has released the convener of the #RevolutionNowProtest and Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the February 2019 general elections, Mr Omoyele Sowore.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, Senator Ali Ndume, has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari is delaying the appointment of new service chiefs following the expiration of their tenures and worsening security situation in some parts of the country.

The Defence Headquarters has disclosed that Leah Sharibu and some aid workers are still in captivity in the hand of Boko Haram is because the military is exercising some caution to ensure that their lives are not put in danger in a struggle to rescue them.

In the wake of successes recorded by the closure of the nation's land border, the Federal Government had yet to decide a terminal date when the borders would be reopened to neighbouring countries.
