“The board found that the process determining the legal status of Boko Haram detainees in all military detention facilities appear to have been left to the Nigerian Army alone.
The report added that some of the terrorist detainees at the time of the arrest, were “malnourished and in poor state.This could be misconstrued as evidence of deliberate starvation.”

“The board interacted with the Anambra Governor, Commissioner of Police, State Directror, DSS and some residents.
“They testified that no one was killed during the incident (IPOB protest) at Onitsha bridgehead but police report showed that 14 people were arrested on the day – May 29, 2016.
“The board received the names and contact details of the five ring leaders of the protest who were arrested and handed over to the police on that day,’’ the report said.
