…Says it will come at a price
Renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has revealed that declaring bandits as terrorists will come at a price, which will result in the involvement of the foreign Jihadist movement.
According to Gumi, in a statement titled: ‘Declaring Bandits As Terrorists Will Come With A Prize,’ the moment they are termed as terrorists, unemployed youths may find it palatable and attractive and join the terrorist group.
The statement partly reads: “Nobody doubts that sentimentalism today overrides sensibility in our polity. For the sake of posterity, some people will have to speak out.
“The acts the bandits are committing now in the North-West region have gradually over time become tantamount to terrorism because wherever innocent people are fatal victims it’s pure terrorism.
Recall that Houses of Assembly speakers in Nigeria on Saturday urged the Federal Government to declare bandits and kidnappers as terrorists, adding that kidnapping and banditry should be dealt with decisively.
