Engage them; they are not many. You can count them with your fingers. How can you guard schools? It is not possible. In the whole north-west, they may not be more than 100,000 bandits. And that is just a drop in the ocean,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is talking about those with weapons; because not all of them have weapons. Ninety per cent of those who have weapons use them to protect themselves against cattle rustlers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are victims too. Aerial bombardments will only worsen the situation because when you start killing their children, you remember they also have our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the abducted Islamiyya students of Niger state, Gumi said he is still trying to \u201ctalk sense\u201d to the abductors not to collect \u201cdirty money\u201d from the parents of the kidnapped students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we are trying to talk sense to them that these are just innocent schoolchildren. We don\u2019t even have any idea of the condition of the children. We are just saying these are young children trying to study and they did nothing, so why are you trying to take dirty money from their families?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis (kidnap of Islamic pupils) actually proves to the nation that the bandits are not really indoctrinated, they are just looking for money and I think that this is a good prognosis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are not targeting a religion; they are not ideologues, which are difficult to deal with. We should not forget that they are not educated, formally or informally. They are just going about with cattle, and suddenly they found a lucrative way of finding money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On May 27, bandits attacked Salihu Tanko Islamiyya school in Tegina town, Rafi LGA, Niger and abducted several schoolchildren.<\/p>\n<p>They went on to demand N200 million ransom<\/p>\n<p>for the release of 156 Islamiyya students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A proiminent Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi has asked the federal government to engage bandits in order to guarantee security in schools.
