EXPOSED! Top Govt Officials, Police Negotiate With Terrorists? – Sheikh Gumi Shocks Tinubu, Drops BOMBSHELL
In an exclusive interview, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a prominent Islamic scholar and mediator, shed light on his controversial involvement in speaking with terrorist elements in Nigeria.
Responding to a question from a news correspondent who asked why he has taken it upon himself to negotiate with such groups, Gumi stated, ” I am in the eye of the storm, and I am a full- fledged Nigerian. I also have an interest in peace and tranquillity. ”
Sheikh Gumi has been vocal in advocating for dialogue with armed groups responsible for insecurity in various regions of the country. He explained that his background and personal experience as a former army officer give him a unique perspective on the ongoing crisis. ” I cannot wait for the official narrative because I have been in the army and I know how things go, ” he said.
The scholar expressed his frustration with the current state of Nigeria’ s intelligence operations, which he believes are insufficient for preventing security breaches.
” Today, 90 per cent of our intelligence is garbage. What we have left is just about 10 per cent. That is why we have coups, because intelligence does not have a way to identify these people, ” he stated, pointing to the inefficiency of the nation’ s intelligence services in handling threats before they escalate.
He also mentioned that the country cannot afford to wait for a future government that may be more equipped to address the situation. Instead, he believes that individuals have a role to play in mitigating the crisis.
” One thing Nigerians should understand is that I have never been to any den of these people without officials of the government. I go with the police because one cannot go alone; you must go with them, ” he clarified. He further added that in some instances, he is accompanied by traditional leaders and state government officials.

Sheikh Gumi underscored that his aim in these negotiations is simple: to broker peace. ” My plan is only to broker peace with them. They open their doors for us to sit and discuss issues, ” he explained, noting that while these talks are delicate, they are necessary for finding a resolution.
As insecurity continues to plague parts of Nigeria, Sheikh Gumi’ s approach remains controversial, with some applauding his efforts for peace, while others remain skeptical of his methods and intentions. Nonetheless, he stands firm in his belief that dialogue is the only path to a lasting solution.
