Banditry: Arrest Gumi now, PFN urges Buhari

The South west zone of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to order the arrest of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi over his utterances, especially his opposition to suggestion that the Federal government should declare bandits as terrorists.

PFN said he should be the number one suspect, following his ‘romance’ with the bandits.

The Christian body said this in Lagos on Tuesday after a conference attended by its chapters from the six South west states.

The PFN leader, Archbishop John Osa-Oni, said Gumi’s utterances are questionable and as such the Federal Government should hold him responsible.

PFN argued that had Gumi been a Christian leader, he would have long been arrested.

ON his part, the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos Metropolitan See, Dr. Alfred Adewale Martins, has urged the Federal government to harness all available resources to tackle insecurity facing the country.

The bishop made the call during the Nigeria Catholic Diocesan Priests’ Association (NCDPA) 2021 yearly general meeting, at St. Leo’s Catholic Church, Ikeja, Lagos.

Archbishop Martins said the country’s problems are enormous and mostly due to the inability of leaders to harness available resources for the country’s good.

He blamed politicians for using religion as a tool to divide Nigerians and allow insecurity to thrive.
