A popular Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi has revealed other people involved in the negotiation table with terrorists. According to his testimony, the executive governor of Kaduna State, El-Rufai, the governor of Zamfara State, Matawalle Bello, with other officials are co negotiators with Fulani bandits in the country.

Gumi uncovered this in a chat with Daily Post, while responding to the increasing calls by human rights group –HURIWA, for the Mohammed Buhari-led government to arrest and prosecute him (Gumi). 

The Islamic cleric described those calling for his arrest as clowns, boasting that nobody can arrest him hence he is not the only person in the negotiation table with terrorists.

He said, "Those are clowns, even the Kaduna State governor dialogued with them, Zamfara governor dialogued with them.

“I’m not the first person that started dialoguing with them (bandits). I only added value, and I find them to be religious; religion is the only thing that teaches you that blood has sanctity. So this is the religious angle.

I’m trying to gather them and teach them that there is sanctity to life. They cannot kill, rape and so on. This is the addition I hope will work. Note, I never visited these bandits without a government official, but they are in the background.

“All the bandits we met were with government officials, and that is why I said those calling for my arrest are clowns.”
