Nigeria is to release militant leader Henry Okah because he has accepted a government amnesty offer, the presidential spokesman says.
But spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi said details of the release still needed to be worked out.
Henry Okah is a leader of the Mend militant group in the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
The government recently offered an amnesty to members of any militant group which laid down its weapons.
