Amnesty c’ttee chair lauds peace in Adamawa

BY UMAR YUSUF

Yola—Presidential Amnesty Committee on dialogue and resolution of security challenges in the North, has lauded the peace so far recorded in Adamawa State.

Chairman of the committee, Kabiru Turaki, told news men in Yola, yesterday, during the Committee’s assessment tour that the peace achieved in Adamawa State, pointed to a direction that peace was achievable in states where State of Emergency was declared in April by President Goodluck Jonathan.

He declared that relative peace was being achieved in most of the states in the North even as the Islamic insurgency leadership had declared a cease fire.

According him, the committee should not be condemned based on the latest killing of 42 Secondary School Students in Yobe State saying that “I do not think it is right to judge the committee because of such isolated case.”

He maintained that as the chairman of the committee there was no need for him to sing about the committee’s achievements, saying “I leave Nigerians to be Judges as far as am concern. The most important thing is that we are making desirable progress. The situation in Adamawa is very calm, we are impressed.”
