The story some sections of the media are deliberately misquoting to give a picture \u201cthat the brother of the person supporting the bandits has also been kidnapped\u201d is mischievous, misleading and diversionary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is actually from the content of an interview recently granted to some members of the press where Sheikh Gumi was saying he is surprised that some elements thinks he is unnecessarily supportive of the bandits, telling them that he is equally a victim of their terror as they have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/10\/police-arrest-bandits-rescue-2-persons-kidnapped-in-abuja-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kidnapped<\/a> his own biological brother about three years ago and that the security agents could not do anything which left them with the option of paying ransom before he was released. A driver of his father was also killed by the same bandits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/09\/why-ill-no-longer-mediate-for-bandits-gumi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gumi<\/a>, all this is not enough reason to say he will not seek for peaceful resolution of the crisis for the purpose of preserving peoples lives and properties especially if we look back at government\u2019s failure to address issues that will help in bringing last solution. Military power alone or declaring the bandits as terrorists cannot end banditry and killings in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay Allah forbid, in today\u2019s Nigeria where government has failed to address the root cause of the armed Fulani banditry and the security imbroglio particularly in the North West and to explore mediation like the Americans finally adopted after over two decades of failed military offensive in Afghanistan, people or the press should not be surprised if Gumi himself is abducted not to talk of his brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the said story as we mentioned is not true and we pray it will never happen not only to Gumi\u2019s brother but innocent Nigerians as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has dismissed reports that his brother was kidnapped by bandits, describing the reports as mischievous, misleading and diversionary.
