Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has said that bandits, who have now been declared terrorists by a Nigerian court, kill in order to avenge the killing of their family members by the military in time past.
Gumi said this at a retreat on inclusive security organized by the Global Peace Foundation and Vision Africa in Abuja.
The Islamic Scholar stated that the government can end banditry and herdsmen’s crimes by meeting with them urgently before things get out of control.
Gumi said: “We all know that bandits initially don’t kill people. They only kidnap people to get money, but something has metamorphosed and turned them into a Frankenstein monster that kills people just for the pleasure of it.”
He also vows to stop meeting with the bandits.
