Gumi Reveals How To Locate Bandits In Their Den

Controversial Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has asserted that bandits can be traced similarly to how individuals track down people they wish to meet.

In an interview with Punch, Gumi emphasized that bandits are Nigerians and can be located through their relatives, suggesting a potential pathway for negotiation and conflict resolution.

During the conversation, Gumi pointed out that when individuals approach bandits as negotiators or preachers, they often open their hearts, indicating a willingness to engage in dialogue.

He argued that this approach could lead to meaningful conversations to convince them to abandon their criminal activities.

Gumi said, “People should not talk like that. This is unintelligent. For instance, if you are in Lagos or Ogun State and you have access to see people, do you ask how you have access to them? These people are Nigerians; we can trace them through their relatives and all that easily.

“When one approaches them as a negotiator or a preacher, they open their hearts. So, they can be approached and convinced. The question is: Why is the government not taking that course? Well, I can say the present government has learned from the legacy of the past.

“The only thing I think is lacking here is that the talking is too much. If you stand on the right side, then we will get results.”
