Again, Sheik Gumi demands amnesty for killer herdsmen, bandits

Fiery Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has, again, demanded amnesty for bandits and gun-wielding herdsmen in the country.

Sheik Gumi claimed that bandits were ready to lay down their arms, and as a result, the Federal Government should grant them amnesty.

He also believed that granting killer herdsmen and notorious bandits amnesty would stop further bloodshed and hostilities in the North.

Sheik Gumi spoke at the enrolment of the third group of students into the free orphans’ healthcare and education support programme organised by the Kawo Islamic Foundation, in Kaduna, Kaduna State capital.

He urged the Federal government to educate and provide bandits with funds after granting them amnesty.

Said he, “If there is anything that can stop the shedding of blood, it is better that just like what happened with the Niger Delta militants, they were shedding blood and vandalising pipelines, they were eventually granted amnesty where they were ready to drop their weapons.

“They were adequately taken care of by the government then. I think the same thing can apply to herdsmen.

“We have met them and they are ready to put down their arms, but when they put down their arms if you do not educate them and provide them with funds to take care of them, they will go back to the same old ways.

“Still, we call for amnesty and stopping all hostilities because we know how we can deal with it peacefully,” Sheik Gumi concluded.
