The Convener of the Coalition, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, who spoke with our correspondent, said: "In the course of the discussion at our session last month, the insecurity in the country and the Boko Haram menace were discussed.
"So, we decided to set up a security committee comprising experienced bureaucrats who have been producers and consumers of intelligence.
"We want to address this insecurity in the country, especially in the North. We met with Borno leaders, we asked them to give us a full grip of the situation. We cannot understand how young men are carrying arms and ammunition about without anybody knowing them.
"They gave us a very lengthy insight. We concluded that the issue has been badly managed by the Federal Government. This fellow called Mohammed Yusuf was captured alive by the military and in good health and handed over to the police. But he was extra-judiciously killed.
"We traced directly the insecurity in Kano, Yobe, Kaduna, Bauchi, Plateau and other Northern parts to these extra-judicial killings and violation of human rights in Borno. We have set up committees to find a way out of this insecurity. We are hopeful that our leaders can restore peace through dialogue."
