FG 'its open for negotiations' Boko Haram

The Federal Government has said that it is open to negotiations

 with the Boko Haram sect in order to find a lasting solution to the
 security crisis in the country, if the group is willing.
 This was disclosed by the Special Adviser to President
 Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on
 Friday, in an interview with theBBC.
 In the interview, which was monitored by our correspondent,
 Adesina said the Federal Government was not ruling out
 negotiations with the sect if it would put an end to the activities of
 the group. He lamented that the insurgents had attacked so many
 villages and killed scores of people.
“These were very vicious attacks. People were killed in scores and
 it’s so sad,” he said.
