The appearance was to resolve some “minor issues” between the agencies.
The chairman of the committee, Rep. Usman Kumo (APC-Gombe), said that the committee invited the government officials to mediate disagreements between the agencies relating to the employment of new police officers.
He said that to address insecurity in the country, there was a need for synergy between all relevant agencies.
“We are here to mediate on minor issues between members of the same family.
“We hope that at the end of this meeting, we can all come out and work together peacefully,” the chairman said.

In his remarks, Maigeri commended the committee for inviting all the parties with the intention to resolving the matter.
He appreciated the committee for the courage and desire to ensure peace and harmony between the agencies.
