(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Controversial Islamic Scholar, Ahmad Gumi on Monday said that the abduction of school students by bandits is a lesser evil.
Gumi disclosed this when he featured on BBC Pidgin saying that it is better for school children to be abducted than the residents of villages to be killed.
He said: Gumi: “Kidnapping children from school is a lesser evil because in the end, you can negotiate and now bandits are very careful about human lives.
“Before, the mission of bandits was to go into a town, ransack it and kill people. By this, I can say our preaching is working and hopefully, we are coming to an end of banditry in Zamfara and other states.
“Bandits are more careful about lives now and just want to do sensational attacks which would bring attention to themselves.”
