A former governor and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Oyo State, Alhaji Lam Adesina last Friday disclosed that there are members of the Boko Haram in the army, police and other security operatives in the country.

Speaking when the chairman of the state Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Mr Gbenga Opadotun, who was in his Felele residence to congratulate him on his 73rd birthday, the former governor  urged President Goodluck Jonathan to dialogue with Northern leaders over the activities of  Boko Haram.

While noting that the Islamic sect had claimed responsibilities for the multiple bomb blasts in some states of the North, which had claimed several innocent lives, Adesina tasked the president not to pretend to not know that Northern leaders were in the know of those behind the incessant bombings.

He stressed the need for the president to convene a meeting with the prominent and powerful leaders of the North now, if he desired urgent resolution of whatever may be the grievances of the sect.

He urged him to dialogue with all the powerful individuals in the North, including military and non-military personnel.
