Bandits Deserve Respect, Empathy, They Have Children, Families – Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Gumi

Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has urged security operatives to stop killing bandits that are ravaging villages, abducting schoolchildren and killing Nigerians.

The controversial cleric asked that they should rather be respected and accorded human rights.

“The bandits also have empathy as we have; they have families, children. The first step is to use psychology on them. They aired their grievances and are ready to change.

“They should be respected and should be given all the human rights everybody has,” Gumi said Thursday at a peace conference by the Center for the Advancement of Human Dignity and Value held at Arewa House in Kaduna.

The controversial self-appointed mediator to assist in finding a solution to banditry, Gumi, said Nigeria will spend less to enlighten bandits than it is spending on arms and ammunition, Peoples Gazette reports.

“Some are suggesting killing them. All because they are killing. For three year’s you have spent $1 billion, and now you need another $1 billion. But, I said one-third of that will enlighten them, and they will stop killing. Have you tried it? Nobody tried it,” Gumi said.

Contrary to Gumi’s stance, Katsina Governor Aminu Masari said he bemoans that bandits have continued with their criminal activities despite being granted amnesty.

In several coordinated attacks, the criminals have kidnapped hundreds across North-East states, forcing school closure in Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger and Zamfara at different points.

In July, bandits bombed a Nigerian Air Force jet in Zamfara and attacked the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna in August, killing two and abducting a Major.

Gumi, northern minister of bandits. I'm sure he'll be opposed to proscribing them as terrorist.

No doubt again, nothing pesin fit tell me again say this man no dey sympathetic to bandits, nothing again.
Walai if I be soldier I sight this man with my rifle I go just shot am better head shot make him chapter just close.

“The bandits also have empathy as we have; they have families, children. The first step is to use psychology on them. They aired their grievances and are ready to change.

change?? Is this the first time govt have offered to forgive them? People who kill other people for no tangible reason forgetting the fact that those people too have families don't deserve any form of forgiveness. In fact Gumi deserves community mobbing.. Very Useless old man.
God punish you.

Who are these people na? Why do we allow these bigots come to our space to drop these nonsense? Is there no way of shutting them up permanently? Am angry right now!

His beards reminds me of one Alfa in kaduna that was molesting the small girls sent to him for Islamic teaching until the news broke and he was uncovered haha they shaved his beards and the looked like a featherless chicken .. It was a ridiculous sight...

This troll is due for a shave I swear ... With his mouth like wheelbarrow sillencer.

This is becoming sick nah

Why will this man keep saying stuffs like this ?
Ó wrong nah ,

Humans are being killed every day by same group ,kids ,wives ,husband and all you can think of his the bandits welfare ??

I really pray to God and to his allah that bandits kills his family members in cold blood and spare you so you live your remaining life in torment ..

Stupid imam , to think this is same man pdp atiku and peter obi eat and roll with ..

Pdp will be worse than apc, it will be the total collapse of this country .

This man supposed to jail

.

Who be this mumu? :

Honestly, i think this man brain � need to be examine critically.

And this Gumi has not been arrested.. He's a clear terrorist.

Inukwa ?!

Who's this man sef. This is bandit advocacy is now putting in directions implicating him, he's making no reference to their crimes but to their so called humanity. Those they put through trauma by kidnapping, maiming and killing are animals?

Gumi is an everlasting shame to Islam and every Muslims everywhere. And to think he is called a Sheikh in Islam gives us all non Muslims insights on what Islam really is.

Shekh Gumi and the entire bandits are plainly stupid

After killing 10 last night... this man is demented ...
Sick and should be arrested....

This terrorist ought to be arrested.

Please someone should check terrorist sponsor's list,Gunmi suppose de the list,abi nah second batch he de ni??

Honestly I talk am... we're getting there

Do you know this man would have been arrested in in a sane country? But we are not in one...

Assuming this man is an Igbo man. Make I stop here.

Lol

Nah that same bandit go kill you at last.

The Bandits have been paying this criminal huge amount of money. This is all because Buhari led APC government refused to tag bandits, killer herdsmen and kidnappers terrorists.

With comments like this and his bold alliance with these wicked men, he should have been arrested. Igboho never did all this and DSS went hunting for him dead or alive. Why Gumi is an exemption is what I don't understand. Infact it shows wickedness in the Nigerian leadership

North and stupidity. The most backward region in Africa

So the people been killed by bandit don't have family?

If Nigeria wasn't a dysfunctional country, this man would've long been used as target for Military shooting practice.

Bandits just murdered 14 people in Niger State.

Chain!
