Nigerian military lifts ban on UNICEF operations in ravaged northeast

The Nigerian military has lifted a ban on UNICEF operations in the ravaged northeast.

Earlier it had suspended the aid agency and accusing it of training spies supporting Boko Haram jihadists.

After a meeting between the military and the United Nations children's agency late Friday, army spokesman Onyema



Nwachukwu said the ban was revoked following an intervention by well-meaning and concerned Nigerians.

Boko Haram's insurgency has killed more than 27,000 people since in 2009 in the country.

The Nigerian army has accused UNICEF of 'aiding Boko Haram'.
