H.E. Mr. Felix Yusufu Pwol:

As far as we can trace, Boko Haram emerged as a movement in 2002 but, as the Senator mentioned, it really became radicalised in 2009. With regard to the prosecution of the perpetrators, some of the demands they have been sending through social media and other methods have called for the release of some of their comrades. It is true there are many, including women, who have been arrested and detained. While the prosecution is taking a long time, the Attorney General some weeks ago mentioned the steps that have been taken to prosecute them in court. Part of the reason for the delay is that the normal judicial process takes longer due to the need for evidence and other issues, but there is an attempt to address the issues so they can be brought to justice. There is no doubt some of these people have been arrested and are in detention, even in Abuja.
