Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a controversial Islamic scholar, has said
he does not negotiate for bandits.
Gumi disclosed this during a meeting with former Kaduna
Central Senator, Shehu Sani, yesterday.
Sani had visited Gumi to plead with him to help negotiate
the release of the 39 College students and eight members of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG) who were kidnapped at the weekend.
However, Gumi said: “As for the College students, we have
done all we can do. In fact, I had a meeting with parents of the kidnapped
students sequel to their meeting with Government.
“I showed them what the problem is and they went to visit
government and returned.
“I am not a negotiator for bandits, we always ensured that
government officials were present in our previous discussions with bandits in
the forests, before the Federal Government’s shoot at sight order.”
Bandits had a few weeks ago abducted some students of the
Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka in Kaduna.
Also, unknown gunmen had over the weekend abducted some
members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, in the state.
The kidnappers also demanded N50 million as ransom for their
release.
