Malam Tukur Mamu, spokesperson of Sheikh Gumi, reads: \u201cBarely one week after commissioning a school for Fulani herders and other settlers in the strategic Kagarko Game Reserve,Kaduna (where it used to be a centre for organizing operations by bandits), renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi has yet again led a team of Islamic preachers and medical team to another strategic Fulani settlement called Rugan Ardo Zubairu Okebukun in Ayangban Grazing Reserve, in Yagba Local Government Area of Kogi State.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cThe Sheikh who went with journalists to see things for themselves left Kaduna on Monday with an entourage of more than 40 people and a fully equipped medical van for the purpose of providing medical support to Fulani victims of violence that were forced to relocate from South East due to consistent attacks on them by IPOB members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe medical outreach van is fully air-conditioned with enough space for consultation, bed for observation, space for drugs, pharmacist, nurses, doctor and a small unit for emergency delivery for pregnant women and even CS surgery in case of such emergency.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cGumi\u2019s choice of Kogi this time around to offer medical support to mainly Fulanis that are victims of violence with his highly committed team is largely due to the alarming number of such victims that were forced to relocate from the South East and South West to Kogi State and to appreciate the Kogi State Government for welcoming them to the state and for allowing them to freely decide where to settle down in parts of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the members of the team in the entourage of the Saudi trained scholar in Islamic jurisprudence includes\u00a0 Malam Tukur Mamu, the publisher of DESERT HERALD Newspaper, former Executive Secretary of NHIS, Prof. Usman Yusuf who is leading the highly organize medical team, Col

dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cIn the opening speech, the spokesman of Sultan Bello Mosque urged the Fulanis in the Ruga to embrace western education as well as Islamic education while eschewing violence or any form of banditry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also told them that the team is here for medical outreach and to treat the Fulanis and any other tribe or religion that are in need of medical attention.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWelcoming the the team, Ardo Zubairu appreciated Dr. Ahmad Gumi and his team for coming to the aid of the
