Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education has condemned calls seeking sympathy and love for bandits.

Recall that popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, had mentioned that bandits are peaceful people and victims of circumstances who were forced into criminality.

The Islamic teacher had called for a more lenient approach to the bandits, adding that attacking them brings out the ‘monster’ in them.

But Ezekwesili, reacting, described the calls for Nigerians to show love to bandits as an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians.

On her Twitter page, the former minister wrote:
Quote
“ Something is noxiously off around here.

“What is with all this ratcheting up of choruses asking traumatized citizens to “show love and sing Kumbaya” for rebranded terrorists now called ‘bandits’ by their sympathizers?

“Please stop insulting our sensibilities. Please stop it!

Recently, Banditry has been on the rampage in states like Niger, Katsina and some parts of the North.

Recall that about 41 persons including students and staff of Government Science College, GSC, in Kagara were recently abducted by bandits.

Several other innocent citizens have been butchered, maimed and killed in attacks on villages by the armed bandits, whom Sheikh Gumi intercedes for.

They want you to embrace and love their killer bandits, but want the entire air and land force to engage ESN, and in the process, kill innocent Igbo youth.

IMO STATE GOVERNOR INVITED THE SOLDIERS TO COME AND KILL HIS IGBO PEOPLE; A THING NO NORTHERN GOVERNORS WOULD NOT DO.
   IMO GOVERNOR PLAYED GOOD RAT BEFORE THE CAT. BUT THE  RAT WILL STILL DIE ANYWAY

Gumi is one of the terrorists sponsors in Nigeria. He have to defend and have sympathy for his boys.
