Bandits Know Nothing About Greenfield Students Kidnap, FG Needs To Listen – Sheikh Gumi

Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has come out to exonerate bandits from the Greenfield University Students kidnap.

He recently revealed this in an interview with AIT on Tuesday when asked if he said Boko Haram was behind the abduction.

According to him, bandits know nothing about the kidnapping, and it was in fact Boko Haram who instigated the plan and carried it out.

Gumi added that he has been trying to speak with the government but no one is really trying to listen to anything he has to say.

His words, “Yes, really. When we tried to trace them and put some sense into them, the contact who is also a nomadic Fulani, they threatened him. They said if he insists on them they were going to catch him and he will have to pay a ransom before he gets out.”

“And the leader is from Jalingo. He is from Adamawa. He is not the local Fulani we have here. So this means that the Northeastern element is coming into this area and we have to move fast. We don’t have that luxury of time.”

“I have been trying to speak with the government but nobody is really trying to listen to me or speak with me on this issue. We are trying to pacify and remove this banditry and they are responding.”
