RENOWNED northern Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, said if government could pardon coup plotters that committed treasonable felony, there was nothing wrong extending the same gesture to bandits.

The Islamic cleric, while responding to the Christian Association of Nigeria in Kaduna on Thursday, said there was need to forgive bandits for the country to have peace.

Gumi added, “Even those that instigated civil war, the civil war that millions of people died, were pardoned. I see no reason why we cannot accept their (bandits) repentance and give them amnesty.”
Gumi added that he never betrayed soldiers of Christian faith before the bandits when he visited them.

He noted that he was misunderstood by CAN because the video that went viral about his discussion with the bandits was distorted and the actual message was manipulated.

Gumi said, “You ask why do we give them amnesty but they told us specifically that they are ready to drop their arms and they don’t want to be pursued with legal actions after they repented.

“If the country could pardon coup plotters who committed treasonable offences in the era of military administration, the bandits can as well enjoy similar forgiveness even better under democratic rule.

“These people in the bush, who have taken arms; they are criminals. I wonder who is not a criminal. Since Nigeria forgave coup plotters, forgave those that killed. Even those that instigated civil war; civil war that millions of people died, I see no reason why we cannot accept their repentance.


“Since that is the bottleneck and it is only the Federal Government that can give them that leverage. Strangely, we found out that they are victims too. They were victims of profiling. So many of them were arrested and punished just for looking like herdsmen.”

It’s Either This Sheikh Guy Has Not Taken What He Should be Taking or He Has Taken too Much of What He Shouldn’t be Taking

What manner of Obscenity are we even witnessing in this country
Did the demonic bandits tell this idiot that they have repented and want pardon
Are they not continuing to commit atrocities unabated
This senseless man has totally lost it and needs more amnesty than the bandits themselves.

What a bold terrorist.... so much confidence with the backing of the presidency.

This sheik will be behind bars in any sane country.

Na them This man is up to something bad, he should be arrested ASAP

If Not For Dead Buhari, What Moral Right or Justification Should a Man Like This Have to Vomit Trash. I Miss OBJ

I swear if God no punish Gumi severely before he die that mean no judgment day

The acclaimed repentant Boko haram terrorist have gone back to rejoin their formal gang members after enjoying the federal government largesse, now you also expect the federal government to grant another unsuccessful amnesty to these people again. This man is a terrorist sponsor.

Can this govt arrest this man already?

oH really?

WTF! Coup plotters that are often executed? It simply implies this Sheik Ahmed Gumi was a known terrorist who have been disguising himself as a peace maker all along.

I cant imagine Nigeria deteriorating this fast with people of his calibre propounding all manners of shitty theories to give these criminal and atrocious elements a soft landing.

Is he taking a swipe at the commander in chief? @buhari ?

Or that he has done Both

Why is this man still walking free.

Congratulations to Nigeria government they have finally change the name of Boko Haram terrorist to bandit.

The minister for banditry and terrorism affairs has spoken. Can anything good come out of Nigeria again? I doubt!
This country is finished.

Why is the man still not behind bars
Tap his phone, emails, bug his home and even plant someone on him.
There's no way you won't find something that ties him to these kidnappings.

***wakes up and yawns****

Oh I'm actually in Nigeria and not in a saner clime

One thing He (Gumi) should know is that criminals are criminals. Those who carry out do it for a reason or reasons.
In the case of bandits, it is a very different ball game; they have been killings, maiming and even raping of young girls in the defenceless community they have attacked in the past.
For me, instead of given them state pardoned or amnesty, let us flush them out of the Forest and let be free for once because of the government give them amnesty now, what make you think that other groups will not come out to demand for same purpose?
