 Insecurity: Gumi tells Nigerian Government to negotiate with bandits


Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has called on the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to negotiate with bandits.

“So the military should be out of this picture completely. We are not fighting a foreign country. We should develop our internal security.”
