The Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents on the outcome of the security council meeting presided over by the President at the Presidential Villa.

According to Dingyadi, the President has however assured that relevant stakeholders including the youth, will be carried along to forestall a repeat and build a peace process in the country.
