Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi known to have the ears of bandits and terrorists in the northern part of Nigeria has urged the Nigerian government to make peace with criminal elements terrorising citizens.
The Kaduna basic Sheikh Gumi writing on his Facebook social media page on Monday argued that Israel that has been battling Hamas in Gaza for two years has made peace with the militant organisation and Nigeria should borrow a leaf.
“Peace between Israel and Hamas they term as terrorists brokered by USA. Who said there is no peace with terrorists?” Mr. Gumi said.
The cleric charged the Nigerian government to “make peace with bandits and let us have peace.”
However, he was shut down by other social media users.
Aisha Oyebisi Oyetunji: “What do you mean peace with bandits? What are the bandits’ demands?”
Awwal Abubakar Imam: “Do you consider Hamas and bandits the same? Is the action of Hamas the same as that of the bandits?”
There are different bandit and terror groups operating in the country, they are not like a single unit the government can pinpoint and start negotiation with for a start.
