The Centre for Crisis Communication a non-governmental organisation on Tuesday said that some persons claiming to be Boko Haram members had approached it for dialogue to end insurgency in the country.
The Executive Secretary of the centre, retired Air Commodore Yusuf Anas, disclosed this when he briefed newsmen on sundry national issues, including cattle rustling and National Assembly crisis in Abuja.
Anas, who did not reveal the identities of the persons, said the centre strongly believed in their renewed request for dialogue because of several telephone conversions with them.
He said the centre was encouraged by a recent statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari on government’s willingness for dialogue to listen to the group.
The executive secretary said the centre was working on authenticating the proposal, stressing that it would facilitate a meeting with relevant government agencies to finalise the process.
