Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has appealed to bandits wreaking havoc in the North-West and North-Central states to release all victims in their custody.
According to Gumi s media aide, Malam Salisu Hassan, the Sheikh on Tuesday stated this during his Ramadan Tafsir sermon at the Sultan Bello mosque in Kaduna State.
Hassan told SaharaReporters on Thursday that he did not know why despite the Sheikh’s appeal, the bandits still continued to strike and abduct more victims.
“Honestly, I don’t know. But Sheikh is aware. In his sermons, he always appeals to them to stop this kind of barbaric action that they are doing. About two days ago, he personally called on them to please release all those who were in their possession. He stated this at the Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna State, where he made his Ramadan Tafsir,” Hassan said.

Zazzau emirate is regarded as a key traditional institution in Nigeria with embedded customs. It is an institution whose legitimacy is based on association with traditional governance methods and connected with the Fulani custom. The emirate system is designed to make policy implementation effective and efficient because it is the closest to the community. The feedback provided to the government on the social well-being of the society signals the effects of policies.
“Some of these women don’t have the transport fare to go to the hospital for their drugs, some have no food to eat with their drugs and so I step in to take them to the hospital and take them back home,” she said. “Just recently, a lady drank poison because she tested positive coupled with the fact that her husband abandoned her and the children.
“We cannot allow her to die like that, she is now being treated and after that, she would start to take her drugs,” she further said.
