The Federal Government on Thursday began dialogue with the 104 Boko Haram suspects being detained in Lagos prisons.
The Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Tanimu, and Chairman, Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North, led the committee members to the meeting.
Tanimu told newsmen after the meeting that the visit was aimed at interacting with the suspects and chart a new way forward.
“We came here basically to have interaction with people detained in connection with acts relating to terrorism.
“We have interacted and spoken to them and they responded very sincerely and frankly, and I think I can say that we were well informed about most of the things they were interested in.
“For now, we are more concerned with the release of vulnerable people and those not pinned down by the security agencies.
“We have seen those the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPR) advised for release.
“We have not seen any woman or child here, but even at that, I am sure the committee will make appropriate recommendations as far as the issue of their release is concerned.
“We have interacted with stakeholders. We have been informed and we have been given advices that will help in making our recommendation to government.
“I can assure you that the committee is on top of the situation as far as dialogue is concerned. We have no serious challenges at the moment.” (NAN)

ReplyDeleteWhy should the committee have challenges when they talking to the wrong people. Among those incarcerated how many commanders are there. This is another show of unseriousness towards ending this senseless killing of innocent Nigerians and our nascent democracy.
ReplyDeleteDialogue with Boko haram is a sign of weakness and lack of direction of the Government . Those bastard are animal and infidels .They killed by the swords they are to die by the sword or hang them otherwise the blood of the innocents will cry out and there will be no peace
