At least seven leaders of the terror gangs responsible for the abduction and killings of thousands of residents and the displacement of tens of thousands of others in Nigeria’s troubled North-west region attended the secret meeting. In the past couple of weeks, the North-west has witnessed increasing cases of mass abduction, as the terrorists target schools.Mr Jaji, who served as the chairman of the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence in the 8th House, said previous attempts to negotiate or dialogue with terrorists did not work.
The lawmaker, while calling for synergy among all the tiers of government, opposed the use of vigilantes and civilian joint task forces by states.
