Nigerian clergyman, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has stated that he will no longer take part in negotiations with bandits. The cleric revealed the reasons behind his latest decision during his interview with TVC News.

Revealing his decision, Sheikh Gumi said, "We do not want to push the bandits beyond what they are presently doing because it can get worse. Why are you rushing to declare them terrorists when they are willing to negotiate?
