Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has come down hard on Islamic scholar, Sheihk Ahmad Gumi, for saying that military onslaught would worsen banditry in Nigeria.

In an article on his Facebook wall of Adesina Thursday, September 9, titled, “I like this pampering. Don’t you?”, he described Gumi as a “bandit-lover”.

Adesina didn’t mention Gumi’s name, but he quoted the Cleric’s statement verbatim, noting that Gumi’s position on the military bombardment of the bandits is ‘false’.

Gumi had, in a Facebook post few days ago, titled, ‘Zamfara: The flaring crisis’, said, “Let us face the reality, these herdsmen are going nowhere, and they are already in battle gear, and we know our Military very well, so before things get messy, we need cold brains to handle this delicate situation.”

Reacting, in his article, Adesina said bandits are going to hellfire.

He wrote, “Before they got to this sorry pass, they had the chance to turn a new leaf. Zamfara, Katsina, and many other States offered dialogue. The Governments tried to negotiate with them. But they were contumacious.

“Like dogs fated for destruction, they refused to hear the hunters’ whistle. They filled the land with sorrow, tears, and blood, ‘dem regular trademark’ (as Fela Anikulapo-Kuti would say). Now, the shoe is on the other foot.

“In the different evil forests, when the Nigerian Air Force strikes from the sky, the remnants of the evil-doers not killed immediately attempt to flee. The ground troops then pick them off like flies. I say it again. One has never been prouder of our troops. They are cleaning up the country.

“Shocking and disconcerting, however, that in the middle of all these, you still hear words meant to discourage our gallant soldiers. A bandit-lover is on record as saying military offensive would not work, and that the bandits “are going nowhere.” True? False. They are going somewhere. And that is: hell.”
