The Founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj ji, has called on the Muhammadu Buhari-led government to arrest Kaduna-based Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi for aiding and abetting banditry and terrorism.
Recall that Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who had been visiting bandits in the various forest had called on the federal government to give amnesty to bandits just like it was given to Niger Delta militants.
In a statement issued to newsmen on Sunday, Maharaj ji who quoted Gumi as saying in a TV programme that the Fulani were into kidnapping to make money, as they had no civilisation, said the utterances showed Gumi as somebody aiding and abetting banditry and terrorism.
He said: “This same personality, Gumi, was on a negotiating table with the Fulani bandit group leader, Dogo Gide and his group over the kidnapped pupils and members of staff of Government Science College, Kagara in Niger State. This is really worrisome.
“Is this not mortgaging the conscience of our youths? Invariably, we are teaching them, it is okay to take arms against the state and that they will be rewarded and given recognition for their grand schemes, twists and plots.
“Gumi lacks conscience for going as far as negotiating terms of exchanging prisoners of terror for the lives of innocent school children.
“This measure can be likened to attempt to kill a python with fresh eggs. It will only serve as nourishment for it to feed fat.”
“Gumi is not a patriot. His actions and utterances negate our cherished dream of the Nigerian project,” he added.
