In a recent sermon, Islamic Scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi encouraged Nigerians to elect leaders who would negotiate with bandits rather than fight them in the upcoming 2023 elections.
Gumi referred to bandits as “our people” and argued that giving them what they wanted would lead to peace in the country.
Banditry has been a problem in various northern states in Nigeria, including Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, and Taraba, where bandits have carried out kidnappings and killings and demanded ransoms worth millions of naira.
