Renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Gummi
By GARBA MUHAMMAD, Kaduna
“Those behind the abduction of the 39 students of Federal College of Forestry Mechanization Kaduna, have been identified. But, I have not been encouraged to mediate,” renowned Kaduna-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmed Gummi, said on Tuesday morning.
He said in an interview with Television Continental (TVC) that he is not moved to mediate anymore, blaming the government and politicians for not helping the situation.
Gummi said: “I have been discouraged in all efforts to mediate on this issue of kidnap by bandits.
“We have been able to identify the rogue leader who kidnapped those students.
“He (the rogue leader) has never attended the peace negotiations we had with other bandits. Even the one we called in Niger State, he refused to come.”
