Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A renowned Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Saturday, volunteered to join any team raised to negotiate with bandits, to bring a lasting solution to incessant bandit\u2019s attack in the country.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Gumi spoke in an interview with Trust TV, on Saturday and expressed his readiness to join in the negotiation process if President Bola Tinubu requests his service to do so.<\/p>\n

Gumi explained that he does not necessarily have to lead the negotiations but would gladly be part of any government-approved group that would be saddled with the responsibility to do so<\/p>\n

He emphasized the need for a holistic approach that involves scholars, emirs, and professors working together to bring peace back to affected areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have to lead it but I would volunteer myself to be part of it. It\u2019s not about leadership; it\u2019s about a holistic package that addresses the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need the involvement of emirs, scholars, and university professors who have conducted extensive research on these matters. Let\u2019s all sit down together so that we can achieve peace and enable people to return to their farms,\u201d Sheikh Gumi said<\/p>\n

The former Zamfara governor, Senator Sani Yarima called for negotiations with bandits, as it was done with Niger Delta militants.<\/p>\n

Gumi who welcomed the calls noted that the lack of synergy among security agencies has hindered the fight against insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n
