Nigerian security agencies know bandits’ hideouts —Sheikh Gumi

Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has alleged that Nigerian security agencies know the hideouts of bandits in different forests in the North.

Gumi who disclosed this while speaking on a radio programme in Kaduna on Tuesday, challenged security agencies to deny the allegations as many of them had accompanied him to the bandits’ hideouts during negotiations to free kidnap victims during the regime of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I don’t think the security agents are truthful with Nigerians. When I go, I go with them (bandits), I don’t go alone,” Gumi said when asked if security forces know where the bandits have their hideouts.
