There are mixed reactions among people over the release of nearly 500 suspected Boko Haram militants at the weekend. Nigeria's justice ministry says the suspects are to be rehabilitated and then re-join society. Some of the released are children and old people. The court ruling is part of massive legal investigation into the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram. Since last Monday, four judges have been hearing hundreds of cases in Nigeria's biggest ever mass trial. But there has been some controversy over the trial, especially when it comes to the effectiveness of the judiciary.
