Popular Controversial Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has disclosed the reason why bandits are now killing their victims.
Gumi said bandits were out to avenge the killing of their family members by the military through airstrikes.
Speaking at a retreat on inclusive security organized by the Global Peace Foundation and Vision Africa in Abuja, the Kaduna-based Islamic scholar said that the bandits were victims seeking justice.
He noted that it was important for the federal government to meet with bandits urgently before they become uncontrollable.
Gumi said: “We all know that bandits initially don’t kill people. They only kidnap people to get money, but something has metamorphosed and turned them into a Frankenstein monster that kills people just for the pleasure of it.”
