Drugs were introduced into the herdsmen that are known to be illiterates or semi-illiterates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust as we had the Niger Delta conflict resolved with an amnesty which comes with reconciliation, reparation, and rehabilitation packages, so will the herdsmen crisis be resolved. In fact, there is a need for a Marshal plan to educate the nomadic pastoralist so that no citizen is left behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo military, especially of a poor economy, can win guerrilla warfare. The recent victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan is a factual warning for those that contemplate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Gumi had called on the Nigerian Government to grant bandits blanket amnesty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Kaduna-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Monday reiterated the need to grant bandits amnesty.
