He said: “The resolution was to ensure that peace and normalcy returns; that the perpetrators are identified and reported forthwith and that henceforth, farmers should  go to farms in groups. Town hall meetings are to continue and members of the Hausa community should return to their places of abode. In fact, they have since returned.”
