President Goodluck Jonathan has called on security agencies to be mindful of the citizens of the country while carrying out their assignments  reassuring that the federal  government will take steps to   correct the errors made by the soldiers in the recent killings in Bornu state.

The president decried the proliferation of small arms and light weapons and urged the committee to establish links with agencies that can help them build capacity and strengthen regional cooperation to combat illicit trafficking of small arms.

Turning to the 26 man committee on dialogue and peaceful resolution of security challenges in the north the president prayed Allah to give them the wisdom to succeed saying that without peace there will be no development.

He charged them to establish a link and open up dialogue with members of the Boko Haram sect as well as develop a framework through which dialogue will take place and work out an option that will lead to the successful granting of amnesty to the group.

He called on Nigerians to give the committees all the necessary support.
