In its resolutions, the Senate urged the Federal Government to direct the military to reconsider its conventional strategies in combating insurgency and other crimes by deploying modern technology and scientific tactics.
The lawmakers noted that relying solely on conventional methods, such as troop deployment, seemed ineffective as terrorists continued to employ unconventional tactics to kill Nigerians and destroy their means of livelihood.
