The World Institute for Peace (WIP), has expressed concern over the outbursts of Sheik Ahmad Gumi against the Nigeria military and security agents whenever they take action against bandits and other terrorists.
The institute in a statement by its Executive Director, Lamina Omotoyosi, made available to Blueprint correspondent in Osogbo, Sunday, said the continuous criticism and condemnation of the efforts of the security forces send signals that he (Gumi) may be among the sponsors of the insecurity in Nigeria.
According to the institute, Nigerian security agents must take immediate action to question Sheik Gumi regarding his involvement in the ongoing insecurity in the country.
“His consistent defense of bandits and terrorists raises serious questions about his motives and possible connections to these criminal elements.
“Sheik Gumi’s inflammatory statements not only undermine the efforts of the security forces but also embolden the criminals to continue their reign of terror across the country.
“His actions constitute a threat to national security and must be addressed with urgency. Or is Gumi above the law?
“Therefore, the World Institute for Peace calls on Nigerian security agents to arrest Sheik Gumi and question him within the next seven days.
“It is crucial that he is held accountable for his words and actions, and that the authorities investigate any possible links between him and the perpetrators of violence in Nigeria.
“The reason the World Institute for Peace urges the Nigeria security agents to take decisive action against Sheik Gumi is to protect the lives and security of the Nigerian people. It is time to hold accountable those who seek to undermine the peace and stability of the country,” Omotoyosi said.
