SHOCKING! Sheik Gumi Begs Tinubu Not To Kill Deadly Bandits Again, Urges Him To Build Hospitals For Them, See details
In light of the widespread insecurity in the nation, prominent Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi has urged the federal government to take a fresh tack. The government’ s traditional approaches, especially its dependence on military force to fight banditry, have not satisfied Sheikh Gumi, according to a recent interview he gave on Trust TV.
Sheikh Gumi voiced his support for a change away from violent tactics and suggested that the administration engage genuine talks with rebels. He stressed the need of constructing hospitals, schools, and marketplaces for these people and asked authorities to reinvest the money that would have gone toward buying weapons into programs that would improve their standard of living.
The banditry, according to Sheikh Gumi, stems from the northern region’ s long- running farmer- herder conflict. An open and frank discussion with those responsible, he argues, might be key to solving this long- standing societal issue.
Sheikh Gumi, a former military officer, recently commented on the military’ s erroneous bombing of Kaduna State and said that the military should stop meddling in domestic security issues. On the contrary, he stressed the need of a stronger police force that can adequately combat problems like banditry.
