Popular and controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has revealed to President Bola Tinubu that he is ready to lead a dialogue between his government and bandits.
Gumi, speaking on the abduction of over 280 students from Kuriga primary school and others by bandits advised that the government should adopt the approach it used in releasing passengers that were kidnapped on Abuja-Kaduna train in 2022 to release the Kuriga school children and others
Gumi said; “The government’s stand of no negotiation with the bandits is an unfortunate position. My advice is that the government should dialogue with the bandits not only for these Kuriga school children abduction but all the cases.”
“Also, the government should use the same approach it used in releasing passengers that were abducted on Abuja – Kaduna train in 2022 to release the Kuriga school children and others.”
“I am ready to lead a holistic dialogue between the government and bandits. It is a religious duty for me to do so for peace.”
“I hope the present government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will listen by dialoguing with the bandits because the past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari refused to do so.”
