A report by the Presidential Committee on Dialogue
and Peaceful Resolution of the security situation in the northern part of the
country shows that some key members of the Boko Haram sect are beginning to
accept to dialogue with the federal government to resolve the insurgency in
northern Nigeria.
Chairman of the Committee and Minister of Special
Duties, Kabiru Turaki disclosed this to journalists at a world press
conference in the Presidential Villa.
He said that the Boko Haram members took the decision in
Shura which the highest decision making body in Islam, confirming that
their decision is based on the conviction that every Muslim must at all times
embrace dialogue to ensure that peace reigns in the land.
They urged their members who are still in the field to
accept dialogue and give peace a chance.
The panel could not confirm whether or not the report by
the military that the leader of the sect Shekau may have been killed promising
to confirm the story in the course of their assignment.
The presidential committee has between now and September
24 to conclude its assignment.
How many times have we heard this, I just hope this time it’s
true. Nigerians in the North deserves to walk and live freely. FG please make this happen.
