In the interview, 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, stating that the insurgents had attacked so many villages and killed scores of people. When BBC asked if the Federal Government was considering negotiations with the insurgent group, Adesina said: “If they are willing, why not? You know attempts have been made for negotiations in the past and they didn’t work. Every reasonable person would want to see the end to this insurgency. So if they are willing, why not? You can’t rule that out.” “These were very vicious attacks. People were killed in scores and it’s so sad,” he said.
