Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has urged President Bola
Tinubu’s administration to initiate peace talks with bandits.
This is even as the cleric drew parallels with the recent
ceasefire and hostage exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.
Gumi, who made the appeal in a Facebook post on Monday, said
the Nigerian government should take a cue from the United States–brokered
truce, which he noted involved a group the West once described as “terrorists”.
He wrote: “Peace between Israel and Hamas they term as
terrorists brokered by USA. Who said there is no peace with terrorists? Make
peace with bandits and let us have peace.”
The cleric has repeatedly called for dialogue with armed
groups operating in parts of northern Nigeria, arguing that a negotiated
settlement would be more effective in restoring security than continued
military action.
