Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi who still maintains that the Nigeria Government should grant an Amnesty to Bandits, said that security operatives are working with bandits who are wreaking havoc across the country.
Mr Gumi has been speaking on behalf of the notorious bandits in northern Nigeria for the past 12 months.
In a Wednesday interview on Arise TV, Gumi urged farmers in Nigeria to allow Fulani herdsmen to protect their forests.
He said, “The Niger Delta example, I think we can take an example from that. When they were vandalising pipelines, they were given the pipelines to guard.
“Now, the herdsmen are controlling a big chunk of land whereby they are preventing farmers from farming. As the Niger Delta is important to the economy, these herdsmen now are becoming important to the Nigerian economy.
“They can be our guards, they can guard the forests. They have qualities that we can tap from,” Gumi said.
