Renowned Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has made a stunning revelation that security agents know the hideout of bandits terrorising Nigerians, especially in the northern parts of the country.
Sheikh Gumi revealed this during an interview on a radio station on Monday. He said that the security agents followed him to negotiate with the bandits.
The cleric urged the Federal Government to negotiate with the kidnappers who abducted about 287 pupils from Kuriga Government Secondary and LEA Primary Schools in the Chikun local government area of Kaduna state because that is the only way the pupils can return unharmed.
Recall that the kidnappers holding 287 students and teachers hostage have reached out to the spokesperson of the troubled families and threatened to kill the hostages in 20 days if they fail to provide the N1 billion ransom demanded.
A community leader, Jubril Aminu, who acted as the representative of the hostage families, disclosed the demands of the kidnappers. The federal government has, however, said it would not pay “a dime” as a ransom for the release of school children, promising that they would be “brought back to safety”.
Gumi said: “I don’t think they (security agents) are truthful with you. When I go, I go with them; I don’t go alone.”
Meanwhile, some concerned Nigerians have appealed to bandits to release the pupils and women abducted in Kaduna and Borno, respectively.
