Controversial Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi has stated that the mass abduction of children is a lesser evil compared to the killing of military personnel.
Gumi made this statement during an interview with BBC Pidgin, which was shared in a video on the medium's Facebook page on Tuesday.
While he condemned all actions of the bandits creating chaos throughout the nation as evil, he asserted that abduction is a lesser evil when compared to murder.
“Kidnapping children is a lesser evil than the killing of soldiers. Both are wrong, but killing is more severe than abduction. As seen in the case in Kebbi, the abducted schoolgirls were eventually released,” the Islamic scholar remarked.
In response to allegations regarding his supposed connections with the troublemakers, Gumi clarified that he has never met with the bandits in private, emphasizing that his last encounter with them was in 2021.
Regarding the schoolchildren who were abducted from a Catholic school in Niger State, Gumi expressed his hopes for their safe return.
