‘‘There is some injustice in these aspersions,’’ Buhari said.

“It is noteworthy that many Nigerians still acknowledge that despite the security challenges, this administration has made notable successes in the security sector,” the President said.

Lalong blamed parties in the conflict for reneging on their agreement to maintain the peace, leading to the recent upsurge in violence, after nearly three years of calm.

‘‘We are concerned as a state that the sophisticated weapons used in these attacks, from the evidence on the ground and the narrations of victims, are not those conventional to our environment for self defence but reflective of a terrorist invasion.

‘‘It, therefore, demands a justified response like that which was undertaken to address the Boko Haram insurgency,’’ he said.

The governor also requested that given the number of villages ravaged in the violence, the Federal Government should establish an Emergency Special Intervention Fund to help reconstruct the destroyed communities.

President Buhari also listened to the presentations and recommendations made by Alhaji Nura Abdullahi, State Chairman, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Mrs Florence Jambol, a representative of the Berom community, on engendering peace in the communities.
