Sheikh Gumi Insists On ‘niger Delta-style’ Amnesty For Bandits by Janicex(op): 12:34am On Nov 06, 2021
Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has advocated for a blanket amnesty reminiscent of the type given to Niger Delta militants to be granted to the killer bandits.

Sheikh Gumi who made the renewed amnesty call during the enrolment of a third batch of students into the free orphans’ healthcare and education support programme organised by the Kawo Islamic Foundation in Kaduna on Monday, insisted that granting amnesty to the bandits was the solution to stopping the bloodshed and their criminal activities in the northern regions.

Gumi added that labelling the bandits whom he described as “naive citizens” as terrorists, will further compound “a very simple problem.”

“If there is anything that can stop the shedding of blood, it is better just like what happened with the Niger Delta militants, they were shedding blood as well, but when they were ready to drop their weapons with an amnesty that will take care of them, I think the same thing can apply to herdsmen,” Gumi said.

“To deal with naïve and uneducated citizens, it will be detrimental to us to label them terrorists; we should fight them when fighting is useful, but dialogue is the ultimate solution.”

Terrorist spokesman. Daura secret service (DSS) won't arrest him. But they can go after separatists

BANDIT SPIRITUAL LEADER.
Re: Sheikh Gumi Insists On ‘niger Delta-style’ Amnesty For Bandits by HolyStriker(m):
I can swear that this guy is a Boko Haram staunch leader.

What other evidence are you looking for?

He's choice of words, he's strong defense for them and determination to rub it on our faces day by day. Niger Delta militants picked up arms to fight because you guys were destroying their lands and were given armesty. What would be the reason to grant those smelly bandits amnesty?

It's written all over him and to think that una so called FG is seeing all these things and kept mute is a misery that you Nigerians can only unravel after una lifetime either in heaven or hell.

Sheikh Gumi is crazy. Our so-called useless DSS and security agencies won't arrest him.

With which money?

I don’t have issues with them being granted amnesty as long as the money they will be given would be from Northwest.

But if it’s to give them Niger Delta Oil money in the name of amnesty, then thunder fire them.
