Islamic cleric and self-claimed mediator for bandits Ahmad Abubakar Gumi has said bandits has refused to end hostilities against the Nigerian government because they were not given “enough money” and land.
According to Peoples Gazette, Mr Gumi said this in a live stream video on Facebook, on Tuesday.
According to Gumi, past attempts “to broker peace” with the bandits failed because the Nigerian government did not compensate them (bandits) “with land or cattle or money enough to help halt hostilities.”
He added that sometimes the government would “just give them (bandits) a million or two million and get their weapons without even looking at how they survive.”
Mr Gumi, however, concluded that only religion can be used to pacify bandits to embrace peace.
On a contrary, Kastina State Governor, Aminu Masari, openly admitted that Fulanis are the bandits killing and kidnapping Nigerians, said they don’t deserve amnesty.
