A renowned Islamic scholar, Ahmed Muhammad Gumi has urged the federal and state governments to grant amnesty to repentant bandits, saying that there will be serious bloodshed and merciless killings if the government and security agencies continue to engage the bandits on operation fire-for-fire.


Addressing newsmen at the chamber of the Government House in Gusau, the state capital, sheikh Gumi explained that the late President Musa Yar’Adua granted amnesty to militants in the South-South zone and went extra mile to create the ministry of Niger Delta Affairs which sheikh Gumi said calmed down the tensed situation.

“Negotiations remain the best option for conflict resolution. Negotiations settled the grievances of the militants in the South-South so president Buhari should borrow from that ideology to end terror attacks in his own government,” sheikh Gumi added.


According to Sheikh Gumi, almost all the heinous crimes in Nigeria are being perpetrated by the unemployed youths who have no defined means of livelihood for a number of years, pointing out that a hungry man is an angry man.

The Islamic scholar who visited some of the bandits dens and hideouts in Zamfara state said that the Fulani unrepentant bandits tabled some of their grievances which they said have not been addressed by the state government.


He said that the Fulani unrepentant bandits demanded for justice in dealing with the Fulani people, saying that both the security agencies and the outlawed Yansakai members have classified the Fulani people as third-class citizens in a country that belongs to every body.

The Islamic scholar explained that the Fulani unrepentant bandits also lamented that mere seeing any Fulani herdsman with a car or motorcycle has become a serious crime against the security agencies and the outlawed Yansakai members as they would seize the car or motorcycle from the Fulani herdsmen describing them as bandits or kidnappers.


Sheikh Gumi noted that the same Fulani unrepentant bandits also complained that during their meetings with the state government on peace accord and reconciliation, all the promises that were made by the state government did not reach the Fulani herdsmen as the kind gestures were being hijacked by the middle men between the Fulani herdsmen and the state government.

“In some of our communities, there is no potable drinking water, no accessible road, no good health care delivery service or any form of social facility and until the state government addresses these problems, we will not embrace the peace accord and reconciliation” the unrepentant bandits lamented.

The Islamic scholar, therefore, called on the state government to as a matter of urgency ensure judicious distribution of any right that belongs to the Fulani people in the state, stressing that hijacking of their rights will aggravate the already existing tension in the state.

“There is nowhere that peace can reign without justice and if there is justice, the federal and state governments would not have been wasting huge amount of money to quell banditry in the state”

negotiate with thieves of the same tribe

Ministry of Fulani affairs loading.....

I won’t be surprised if Buhari creates a special budget for the jihadists.

It is foolish to compare the agitation of ND freedom fighters to the supremacy fight of the Fulani terrorists.

The Sheik is wrong on this

This is incredible! When you think there are sensible ones among them, then boom! They drop the bombshell.I am not shock or disappointed because Sheik Gumi is a northern Muslim-they will always support evil.

No sane nation negotiates with terrorists.

Musa Yar’Adua granted amnesty to militants in the South-South zone and went extra mile to create the ministry of Niger Delta Affairs which sheikh Gumi said calmed down the tensed situation.

The Niger Delta militants and their host communities are bringing oil to the FG, their resources are powering this dilapidated nation hence the amnesty. What are killer Fulani herdsmen, bandits, and terrorists bringing to Nigeria that will warrant granting them amnesty?


In a sane country, this Gumi of a guy should be arrested and sentenced for this reckless speech.

Whatever happens in this country... the next thing you hear is Negotiation


Buhari Administration and the term Negotiation are like 5&6

ITS FINISHED....

Nigeria is going going ......

Niger Delta contributes Oil to the country and fought/advocated to be beneficiaries of their Own oil.

What has the Fulanis contributed?
Are their cows national assets or what?

Mad people everywhere!

Nigeria is a prodigal nation, where her wealth is lavished on looting politicians and criminals.

If Nigeria were a woman, she would have bled to death bcs of constant raping and stripping of her diginity.

A country designed to reward criminals!!!

Amnesty from which money ? His personal money I hope.


Bloody fools

This is not a matter of APC or PDP, I think it's a matter of bad precedence; Nigeria is just bad generally and weveryone wants to have his own share of national cake of a prodigal nation.

Bcs the prodigal nation is known for the system that rewards criminal, and this Nigeria !!!

Expect more people to pick up arms and demand for amnesty.

And to make the worst, a renowned cleric is championing this criminal cause.

WELCOME TO NIGERIA !
WHERE CRIME PAYS !!

So the bandits terrorizing the Northwest are actually Fulani herdsmen? I just found out here.

Incredible!!!

Before BUHARI will read this news, until next year.

According to the News, Zamfara bandits said that people in the govt are their informants.

How do you expect BUHARI to hear this problem solving news.
