The Defence Headquarters on Thursday said a Federal High Court in Borno ordered the release of no fewer than 313 suspected terrorists arrested by the military.
While briefing journalists in Abuja on the military operations, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Buba Edward, said the court ordered their release for lack of evidence to nail the suspects after the investigation.
He also gave an update on suspected criminals arrested by troops in several parts of the country.
In the North-East, troops of Operation Hadin Kai killed at least 50 terrorists in Borno and Adamawa states respectively.
