Trump Shouldn’t Bomb Nigerian Terrorists, They’re Reasonable People – Sheikh Gumi

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a preacher from Aduna, claims that terrorists who kill, maim, and abduct innocent people for ransom are “listening and reasonable human beings” who ought to be subdued rather than put to death.

“As a human being, I’ve been attempting to figure out how we might calm these terrorists and divert them. In an interview with VOP TV, Mr. Gumi stated, “They listen and reason, but you will compound the problem and make the thing dirty if you say you want to use force against force.”

The Islamic cleric, who supports amnesty for bandits causing chaos in the nation, claimed that because the U.S. army has failed to battle terrorists and bandits in Afghanistan and Syria, they are unable to beat them in Nigeria.

“I will welcome the U.S. army if they are able to treat and destroy the terrorists. But they can’t, I know that. They have been fighting in Afghanistan for twenty years, but they have been unable to complete them. The same thing is happening in Syria now, Mr. Gumi reasoned.

“These terrorists you see, it is not easy to come and drop bombs here and there and think you will finish them because they have infiltrated the society,” the Islamic preacher continued. It will inflict additional harm. If America fires a bomb in Nigeria, more Muslims and Christians will die.

Following Mr. Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern due to allegations of Christian genocide and his threat to invade Nigeria in order to eradicate terrorists killing Christians, Mr. Gumi’s speech humanizes terrorists and bandits.

Over a ten-year period of terror in the Northeast, Boko Haram terrorists have killed hundreds of thousands of people, abducted hundreds of pupils, and forced almost three million people to flee their homes.

When the terrorist organization abducted roughly 276 schoolgirls in the Borno community of Chibok in 2014, it became well-known throughout the world.
