A former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has condemned controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, for defending the activities of bandits, terrorists.
ThisNigeria reported that Gumi, in a statement on Monday, said that declaring bandits as terrorists will “come at a price.”
“Yet again, the only helpful part that is against Bandits is that no other than them are attracted to join them in the NW because of its ethnic tinge and coloration. However, the moment they are termed Terrorist – Islamic for that matter, the direct foreign Jihadist movements will set in in force. And many teaming unemployed youths may find it palatable and attractive.
‘’Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ plus AK47 against a ‘secular’ immoral society where impunity reigns are the magnet for extremists and downtrodden – the majority of our youth. Already these terrorist groups are fighting for the soul of these bandits,” the statement read in part.
Reacting in an Instagram post on Tuesday, Omokri wondered how long the Federal Government will continue to “tolerate the PR work Gumi does for bandits.”

“Every time bandit terrorists threaten Nigeria, all we get from Sheikh Gumi is SILENCE. A very loud SILENCE. But when Nigeria threatens these bandit terrorists, Sheikh Gumi screams LOUDLY in their defence.
“Other than the Sheikh in his name, Gumi is not different from the bandits. Gumi never speaks for the victims. How long shall a government, that is after Igboho and Kanu, continue tolerating the PR work Gumi is doing for terrorist bandits? Gumi is an inspiration to these terrorists.
“He feeds their wickedness with his evil lies that it is Christians that are their enemies. The international community should make Gumi a pariah because Buhari won’t do it,” Reno Omokri wrote.
