Buhari Must Sponsor Bandits To End Abductions, Sheikh Gumi Says

Popular Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, has urged the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari to support a factional bandits group to stop mass abductions of school pupils.
He stated this on Wednesday while reacting to the abduction of 200 Islamiyya schoolchildren in the Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.
Many bandits were ready for a dialogue, adding that government could use them to fight the “ugly ones,” the PUNCH quotes Gumi saying.
“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,” Gumi said.
“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.’”
