Controversial Islamic Scholar, Sheik Ahmad Gumi has expressed willingness to facilitate comprehensive discussion between the Federal Government and bandits in a bid to secure the abducted Nigerians.
The government of the affected state has refused to dialogue with the bandits to release the schoolchildren and has also refuted claims that it had hired a private negotiator to facilitate the release of the victims.
However, reacting to the development, Gumi said in a statement, that the government’s stand of no negotiation with the bandits is an unfortunate position, advising the government not to repeat the mistake made by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who refused to dialogue with bandits.
Meanwhile, Senator Shehu Sani has supported the proposed Negotiations with Abductors of the kidnapped pupils.
As reported, Sani in a post on his media page explained that as long as there will be no payment of huge ransom, the negotiations with bandits are okay.
“Negotiations with the Bandits who kidnapped the Kaduna pupils is okay as long as it will NOT involve huge payments.
“It should be a koboless negotiation. Their reported demands for outrageous ransom is sheer madness.
“I’m still optimistic that the pupils will eventually be released gauging the ongoing efforts,” he wrote.
