Fearless Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi on Friday called for the establishment of a federal ministry to address the grievances of bandits and killer Fulani herders terrorising the country.

Mr Gumi, a self-appointed intermediary in the ongoing crises of banditry and killer herdsmen, said in a Facebook post on Friday that bandits should be rehabilitated like Niger Delta militants, adding that declaring war against bandits would be futile.

“Some said we have tried amnesty but it didn’t work. You didn’t try amnesty but tried amnesia. Amnesty without rehabilitation, reconciliation, and reparation is no amnesty,” Mr Gumi said. “Ask the former Niger Delta Militants who killed security men in the past what an amnesty is. What stops us from having a federal ministry of Nomadic Affairs where their grievances and complaints will be addressed?”

President Umar Yar’Adua implemented an amnesty policy that saw the rehabilitation of thousands of Niger Delta militants who had waged a decade-long war on oil facilities across the region. The militants lamented economic deprivation and environmental degradation that assailed the oil-rich region, drawing both sympathy and condemnation from different segments of the society.

The militants accepted political and economic solutions, including the creation of a Niger Delta ministry, proposed by the Yar’Adua administration and relinquished their arms and ammunition, marking an end of hostilities that saw the destruction of oil installations and deadly attacks on local and expatriate oil workers.

Mr Gumi’s statement came days after Katsina Governor Aminu Masari openly admitted that Fulanis are the bandits and herders responsible for the widespread killing and abduction across the country.

Mr Gumi said his efforts to get amnesty for bandits and killer herdsmen have been sabotaged by President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to deploy troops against violent criminals.

“Some disingenuous people say: peace and negotiations with herdsmen bandits have failed, and your mission has failed! I said my mission has not failed but it was sabotaged or discouraged by the same influential people that benefit from the chaos or like us to destroy ourselves and leave the herdsmen in perpetual ignorance,” Mr Gumi said.

Taliban has spoken.

Did the Federal Government steal their cows?

Who is milking and destroying the livelihood and resources of Fulani herdsmen?

Fulani herdsmen remains the second most dangerous killer terrorist organisation in the world after ISWAP/BokoHaram according to the recent World Terrorism Index and you want to reorganise them by giving them more resources and authority over the people they destroyed their ancestral lands and kill their people.

God forbid.

As long as Shrek Gumi walks the streets free, Banditry will continue Waxing stronger.
Arrest Gumi and see those criminals weakened.

"Strike the Shepherd and the flock will scatter"

Fulani herders have been around since time immemorial. So, why have they become such a big issue only under Buhari?

Can we also have Ministry for Men Affairs while we’re at it?

Yes....with ministry of sheikh gumi.

And As the spokesman of the terrorists, Gumi will surely head the ministry

Yes you're right but where will the funding come from?
From Northern states or Niger Delta Oyel money?

He actually meant federal ministry for terrorists and jihadists.

These guys are very wicked, with all the killings going on in the country and attacks on communitues they don't feel an inch of remorse. My hope is for everyone to go their separate ways and those who love Taliban style of government should be free to practice theirs and those supporting them from the south can merge with them also.

Lol
