In a bid to secure the release of abducted Nigerians,
controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has expressed willingness to
facilitate comprehensive discussions between the Federal Government and
bandits.

 

Sheikh Gumi urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration not
to repeat the mistake made by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who refused to
dialogue with bandits.

He was reacting to the refusal of the Kaduna State
government to negotiate with the bandits involved in the abduction of 287
school children from Kuriga Government Secondary and LEA Primary Schools in
Chikun Local Government Area.

 

Last week, bandits abducted over 280 students from Kuriga
primary school, and the government.

Reacting, Gumi, in a statement said: “The government’s stand
of no negotiation with the bandits is an unfortunate position. My advice is
that the government should dialogue with the bandits not only for these Kuriga
school children abduction but all the cases.

 

“Also, the government should use the same approach it used
in releasing passengers that were abducted on Abuja – Kaduna train in 2022 to
release the Kuriga school children and others.

 

“I am ready to lead a holistic dialogue be- tween the
government and bandits. It is a religious duty for me to do so for peace.

“I hope the present government of President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu will listen by dialoguing with the bandits because the past
administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari refused to do so.”
