A controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has stated that he does not bargain with robbers.
Gumi disclosed this during a meeting with former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, yesterday.
Sani had gone to Gumi to beg him to assist in the liberation of the 39 College students and eight members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) who had been abducted over the weekend.
“As for the College students, we have done whatever we can,” Gumi said. In reality, following their meeting with the government, I had a meeting with the parents of the kidnapped students.

“I showed them what the problem is and they went to visit government and returned.
“I am not a negotiator for bandits, we always ensured that government officials were present in our previous discussions with bandits in the forests, before the Federal Government’s shoot at sight order.”
Bandits had a few weeks ago abducted some students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka in Kaduna.
Also, unknown gunmen had over the weekend abducted some members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, in the state.
The kidnappers also demanded N50 million as ransom for their release.
