Popular Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, has advised the Federal Government to support splinter groups among bandits as a way to end mass abductions of school pupils.
Gumi in a fresh interview with Punch, said many bandits were ready for a dialogue and that the Federal government could use them to fight the “ugly ones'' and end the kidnappings carried out by them.
The Sheik who had previously advocated for amnesty for bandits, said
“We are always trying to do our best, but you see, you need two hands to shake. You know these people (bandits) need engagements from the government itself. If you dialogue with them without the involvement of the government, it is a problem.
Government needs to be proactive with them. We have a lot of them that are ready to fight the bad ones. Use the bad to fight the ugly, and use the good to fight the bad ones when you’re done with the ugly. Look at Boko Haram, who finished Shekau? Was it not the splinter group? So, it is easy.
All these agitations you see, if the government can do a splinter group and the splinter group is empowered, every man wants power and money, they will do your job. There are many ready to submit themselves. All the ones you see me meeting in the bush, they are all telling us, ‘we are ready.’”
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

If he is from the south hell would be let loose and world war 3 or 4 would have almost kicked off. Am someone still believe in a united Nigeria or whatever you call it.

Take it or leave it, he is speaking for the federal government of Nigeria. I never knew there are good terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, armed robbers and thieves. This government has already empowered Bandits and Boko haram terrorists and called them the repentant Terrorists.

I can't believe this remark is coming from Him. Where is the police that will arrest this lunatic because I want to believe he is in with the bandits with all the remarks he is making
