The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu today justified the current dialogue between bandits who had killed many people in the North East and the State Governors including the security agencies, saying that it would bring peace the area.
The IGP said that the security situation in the country has improved when compared to the two quarters ago, adding that banditry and kidnapping have decreased.
Briefing State House Correspondents after a security meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and Security Heads including Service Chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, IGP Adamu said dialogue and negotiations were used by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua to solve the militancy problem in the Niger Delta that resulted to the amnesty programme for the repented militants.
He said that the use of kinetic action sometimes does not solve a problem rather negotiation and dialogue bring peace.
According to him, “When we are talking about peace initiative, there are a lot of things that we take into consideration, you give out something to get something. And this peace initiative has not started with the bandits in the North-Western part of this country with the bandits.
