Bandits will remain until Buhari grants them amnesty like Niger Delta militants – Sheikh Gumi
Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has reiterated the need to grant bandits amnesty. He said bandits will continue to operate until granted amnesty like Niger Delta militants.
The cleric, who has access to bandits, disclosed this in a post on his Facebook page entitled: ‘Zamfara: The Flaring Of Crisis.’
Gumi warned that military action against armed herders would worsen the insecurity situation rather than solve it.
Citing the incident in Afghanistan, the Kaduna-based scholar insisted that no military, especially of a poor economy, can win guerrilla warfare.
The statement reads partly: “By 2015, banditry has replaced cattle rearing that is becoming nearly impossible. Drugs were introduced into the herdsmen that are known to be illiterates or semi-illiterates.
“Just as we had the Niger Delta conflict resolved with an amnesty which comes with reconciliation, reparation, and rehabilitation packages, so will the herdsmen crisis be resolved. In fact, there is a need for a Marshal plan to educate the nomadic pastoralist so that no citizen is left behind.
“No military, especially of a poor economy, can win guerrilla warfare. The recent victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan is a factual warning for those that contemplate.”
this man is supposed to be in jail cuz be is the backbone of those bandits…
Though, those nomadic Fulani need education but not as to give those armed one amnesty
What would you say about the one that were given amnesty but a week later go back to his usual business, can that one repent?
Its because you have not been a victim of them that is reason why he is agitating amnesty for them
What exactly are they fighting for? What you are comparing is incomparable
