Martin Luther King Jr. In his infamous speech in Detroit on June 23, 1963, in front of 125,000 audiences said a man that has not found something to die for is not fit to live. As for the controversial Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, he seems to have found such a course for himself. He has constantly stood on the side of the armed bandits whenever the question of waging wars against them is raised. He has even on many occasions put his life on the line to visit them in their den in what he described as a dialogue mission....CONTINUE READING

Recently, the medical doctor and ex-soldier has once again tackled the Nigerian military for claiming that they have killed two of the bandits’ leaders. As reported by The Punch, the Cleric on Tuesday asked the Nigerian military to provide any evidence of their killing of two notorious bandits in Zamfara forest in their recent claims of bombardment. As he also stands his grant that war against bandits is not the solution but dialogue. This is becoming a nauseating endeavour from the Sheikh and one is forced to think that he probably knows a secret that is hidden from every other person.

Away from that, Sheikh Gumi forget to tell us what his many years of dialogues with the bandits have yielded? Before they were outlawed as terrorists, the Islamic Scholar had gone on many peace-mediating missions to the forest to dialogue with the armed bandits while raising millions in donations for them, however, instead of laying down their arms and embracing peace, they have engaged in incessant killings of innocent citizens while kidnapping many people for the unbearable amount of ransoms.

Meanwhile, anytime the discussion of staging a military action against them arises, Sheikh Gumi has always kicked against it while insisting on dialogue and raising more funds and giving them enough lands for settlement. That is why one may not be too wrong to think he knows more secrets on how to deal with them than the government.

Further from that, if truly the bandits were willing to embrace dialogue, why have they not surrendered their weapons like some of the repentant Boko Haram ex-soldiers? A man who is wired for peace will not take up arms and start killing innocent people in the first place.

And lastly, defending rogues who are not ready to change their ways is not a course anyone should take up and dedicate his life to.
