Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor PHOTO: Twitter The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Lucky Irabor, has appealed to the human rights community to mount on Boko Haram the equal measure of pressure it puts on government forces dealing with terrorism to compel them to drop their weapons and come to the negotiation table. However, while human rights groups say it was not part of their mandate to engage terrorists, the human rights commission advocated intelligence-driven counter-terrorism operations. According to Irabor, if the rights crusaders take the campaign for human rights to the terror organisations, the conflict will be resolved faster with attendant reduction in casualties.
