The kidnappings in Kaduna State and other parts of the country have attracted different reactions from prominent Nigerians.

An Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, attributed the increase in kidnappings in the state to the bombardment of the camps of the bandits.

Gumi, who spoke to one of our correspondents on the telephone on Monday, said the bandits had suffered heavy casualties and were determined to retaliate.

He advised the government to set up a committee to open a dialogue with those ready to embrace peace, adding that it was the only way to resolve the crisis in the state.

He said, “It is because the other states are trying to respect the peace (of the bandits), but in Kaduna State, it has been declared that they should be bombed and annihilated. Whenever the attack is much on them, they will fight back. I am calling on the authorities to pipe down and let’s see how we can get them to reason and stop kidnappings and shedding of innocent blood.”

Gumi asked the government to put the interest of the kidnapped students first and make necessary sacrifice to secure their freedom.


According to him, there are different factions of the kidnappers, adding that a particular gang was responsible for the continuous attacks in the state.

He said if the government could reach an agreement with the other sects, the gang would be neutralised

“The lives of the students are more important than any principle; their lives first. So, let’s save them. It is one particular notorious sect that is doing all these and other ones are blaming him (the gang leader).”

H

Lol..these people no rate us at all

He wouldn't tell us the truth on how many lives of the youths under him who are now bandits he had ruined with the almanjiri indoctrination.

I stand with you Gumi.. Islamic republics are known to rather pamper terrorist. Islamic republic of northern nijeriya will never know peace as long as they remain one with secular south. So trevorboss1, coffinseller, blinking001 what do you suggest? The north burn to ashes keeping infidels? Una never see anything.

Can someone put a bullet in the head of this terrorist, so that his blood and brains will nourish the desert sands of the North?
This guy is going around all media houses campaigning for BH but non of the media house are being petitioned for fined but just a 9-minute harsh interview with an IPOB member, the govt was swift to action.
Only a blind man will deny that this government is a terrorist one. We are being led by terrorists.

Twisted. So they shouldn't bombard bandits.

lol... why didn't it increase endsars?

Minister of bandits and kidnappers.

Is there a connection between this man and the terrorism in this country that we don't know about?

just asking for my neighbor's son.

so 419 sheik is it Islamic to kill innocent Greenfield university students who has done nothing wrong?

Hypocrites, in a sane country, this man supposed to be in custody.

I stand with you Gumi..

Hmmnnn........

It's because of the inferior system and standard of our security systems and maybe even corruption in the administration that's making them fear the "comeback" of bandits.

If the systems were standard, an attack on them will score a considerable, powerful victory against them and if whatever is left of them decides to retaliate, they will be repelled and conquered as well until all the bandits meet their end.

Imagine if I run a company, one of my subordinates misbehaves and I'll have to be begging and imploring him to come to peace instead of taking strict actions. It means my power as the administrator of the company has waned niyen...

By the way, Gumi should - for the sake of his image as an Islamic Cleric - watch how he involves or affiliates with government before they stain his image with their dirt.

like they did to Osinbajo.

By the way, please check my signature and patronize us for your data. Na beg I dey beg. Thanks.

Just like the bombardment of ipobian.is responsible for the killings of security personels and burning of police stations in the east.
