Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff has accused the judiciary of putting the lives of soldiers at risk.

Speaking to lawmakers, the CDS said the release of Boko Haram operatives is affecting the fight against terrorism.
“Another aspect of the judiciary is that you use all your effort to make an arrest, you hand them over, and before you enter your vehicle, the man has been released on bail.
“Now you have risked yourself in doing that, by the time he is released, he goes to tell the people the person that arrested him. Now your family members or you are at risk. It is getting to a state where the security forces do not want to make any effort,” the CDS said.
