In a bid to secure the release of abducted Nigerians, controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has expressed willingness to facilitate comprehensive discussions between the Federal Government and bandits.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Gumi urged President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration not to repeat the mistake made by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who refused to dialogue with bandits.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to the refusal of the Kaduna State government to negotiate with the bandits involved in the abduction of 287 school children from Kuriga Government Secondary and LEA Primary Schools in Chikun Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

Last week, bandits abducted over 280 students from Kuriga primary school, and the government.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Gumi, in a statement said: \u201cThe government\u2019s stand of no negotiation with the bandits is an unfortunate position. My advice is that the government should dialogue with the bandits not only for these Kuriga school children abduction but all the cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, the government should use the same approach it used in releasing passengers that were abducted on Abuja \u2013 Kaduna train in 2022 to release the Kuriga school children and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am ready to lead a holistic dialogue be- tween the government and bandits. It is a religious duty for me to do so for peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the present government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will listen by dialoguing with the bandits because the past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari refused to do so.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
