Popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has disclosed that his interactions with bandits were done in the presence of government officials.Gumi disclosed this while rebuking those calling for his arrest and prosecution over his interaction with bandits.

The Islamic cleric described those calling for his arrest as “clowns.” Recall that the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, had called for the arrest and prosecution of Sheikh Gumi.

HURIWA had pointed out that Gumi’s interaction with bandits was a treasonable offence that should be decisively with.

However, the Kaduna-based cleric stressed that he was not the first to have negotiated with bandits.Speaking with DAILY POST, Gumi noted that Kaduna and Zamfara States’ governors had met with bandits before him.

Asked to respond to those calling for his arrest, Gumi said: “Those are clowns, even the Kaduna State governor dialogued with them, Zamfara governor dialogued with them.

“I’m not the first person that started dialoguing with them (bandits). I only added value, and I find them to be religious; religion is the only thing that teaches you that blood has sanctity. So this is the religious angle.

I’m trying to gather them and teach them that there is sanctity to life. They cannot kill, rape and so on. This is the addition I hope will work. Note, I never visited these bandits without a government official, but they are in the background.

“All the bandits we met were with government officials, and that is why I said those calling for my arrest are clowns.” The Islamic cleric also insisted that his interaction with bandits has yielded instant positive results.

“My interaction with bandits has yielded instant results. When you are dealing with somebody engrossed in criminality, if you approach him as a policeman, you will have a problem but if you come to him as a pastor, he will confess all his sins to you.

“So we approach them as clergy, and they feel comfortable to vomit all their problems. Hence, we see how we can appease and help them.

“We are not approaching them as an authority but from the spiritual angle. You know every human being has that spiritual influence, and that is why we are adopting that,” he added.

Whao! What audacity and impunity.All hail the undisputed commander-in-chief, bandits/terrorists operations and reformation strategist-Maj.Gen.Sheikh Ahmed Gumi.

We know government know them.Abi what will one say when the defense spokesman-Maj.Gen.Enenche boldly said they rescued Kankara school boys with the aide of Miyetti Allah and repentant bandits?

When Obadiah Mailafia said it, they almost crucified him but today Gumi have confirmed it.No DSS have invited him for questioning.The Nigerian Army are just watching as passive observers while the govt is legalizing all the atrocities.Evidence of a failed state.

CodeTemplar:
We know who is behind them already. They own expensive arms and ammunition yet claim poverty. They buy million naira guns like bread but claim to be poor. We know they are all political thugs.

Tetehjewels:

They know they did. They have never stopped too. This recent and crazy killing spree by so called bandits has their name written all over it. They feel that if APC could win Presidency because the nation was in security jeopardy they can also use the same technique to wrest power from APC.

As far as I am concerned they are responsible for all the mess currently happening because if memory serves me well in the leaked memo Atiku was given by his foreign consultant during the run up to the last presidential elections one of the options he was given which would enable him win was to create serious unrest in the nation and the recent increase in attacks and killings to me is a clear indicator to this as 2023 is fast approaching
