Nigerian Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has revealed that religious terrorism is already setting in Nigeria, expressing worry that bandits have kidnapped about 66 Christian worshipers recently.

Gumi in a video posted on his official Facebook page stated that the country might face a more dangerous situation than Boko Haram.

He said, “As we speak now, bandits believed to be herdsmen have kidnapped about 66 Christian worshippers and they came out with the clip, unlike before.

“Religious terrorism is truly setting in. February this year when I went to meet some of these bandits, they were humble and had no inclination of terrorism.

“In fact, the Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, the former one, told me that in the years when he was in power, some herdsmen caught with Boko Haram members who were trying to infiltrate their territory were caught and brought into the government.

“We are struggling with ethnicity, it has nothing to do with religion so if care is not taken, we will be facing a more dangerous situation more than even Boko Haram.” (Daily Independent)
