According to him, his visits to such groups are carried out alongside members of the police, the military, and other security agencies as part of efforts aimed at dialogue and resolving security challenges affecting several communities.
“The FG knows every terrorist by name and location. I do not go alone to negotiate with the terrorists. I go with police, military, and other security agencies,” the cleric said.
