A popular Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has made a fresh case for armed bandits and terrorists killing several Nigerians across states of the country.
Gumi while speaking during an interview on Trust Television on Friday said the terrorists attacking innocent citizens are on a ‘revenge mission’.
He added that the bandits do not attack without a reason, the cleric urged the Nigerian government to call for a meeting with the terrorists.
According to Gumi, should the Nigerian government heed his advice and call for a meeting, the terrorists would definitely honour the invitation for peace to reign.
Gumi’s call for peace with the terrorists follows the recent designation of Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ by President Donald Trump of the United States of America.
He also stated that Bandits are not like members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) who have refused to dialogue with the government.
“They don’t just attack without a cause. Bandits are on a revenge mission. If you call them for peace, they will come.
“They are not like IPOB members who have refused to dialogue,” Gumi said.
