Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

A respected Islamic cleric, Sheik Abubakar Gumi, has said there are about 100,000 armed bandits in the North-West alone. Gumi said the bandits kidnapping school pupils were disappointed that he negotiated with them without the involvement of the Federal Government.

“But with good engagement, education and enticements like jobs and other things, they will leave this work. But we need a partner and we need the government to understand. Individuals like me alone cannot do it.

“So, the earlier we go into engaging them, the better. The ones who have agreed to lay down arms, you can engineer them to take care of the rest.”

Animal in human skin

Their chairman has said

Gumi is simply a gateway to banditry while the sponsors are politically unknown

This insane man should be cautioned for careless attributes

'All animals are equal, but some are more equal than the others'. If not, why would you allow an animal and a bandit like Gumi to be making such a misguided statement without being put behind bars. But our dementia president can only roar when such comes from the south or east.

'Gumi' is directly threatening the life of Nigeria students & the government is watching? Is his comment not more than 'Hate speech'? 'Negotiate with bandits'? How on earth did we get to this point? So Nigeria laws are ment only for the poor & for those without connections?

Person wey dem pose throw behind BARS!!

Mad man

Negotiate with bandit bawo alaye. You are high o.

This man is behind all the kidnappings in Nigeria

I don't know why this man is getting people attention wallah

They should get this baba arrested!

Ólòrí èbú somebody.

Arewatwitter have suddenly gone dumb on this.

Please, stop twitting about this man. If they can't arrest him. We don't want to hear him anymore

Igbos are not stupid and most clever tribes among all tribes in Nigeria.

Gumi is the official spokesman of bandit cartels. Rich guy.

Both the government n bandits are mad

And this clueless govt seating down and be watching this man walking freely may thunder strike both gumi and buhari together

Mental illness is not a good thing

Western Education Threat?

I don't know why this man us moving freely. This man should be arrested

Even Bandits have a Chief Speaker in this man. If na Igbo man now, they would put a Ransome in him.

DSS were una de?

Gumi the papa bandits

ATasteOfAfrica7 SenChrisNgige, are you seeing this

Who is this man?

Why has this man been arrested or interrogated, FG only know how to go after activists,, well Oduduwa republic rally hold soon in Lagos Ojota.

Buhari can't arrest this terrorist because he himself is the spiritual Head of Boko Haram, Iswap and other terrorist group

Soldiers escort Sheikh Gumi to meetings with bandits. And the same army sends soldiers to kill Oodua nation and IPOB members. Where is the justice there? You canonise bandits and their advocates and demonise freedom fighters and their supporters and you want peace? .... 🕴

Schools in the North

DSS shey you guys are sleeping while this man is roaming free?

This man is one of them.. Like what rubbish is this now Someone will just wake up to read nonsense

In a civilized world, no one is negotiating with the terrorists..... It can only happen in nigeria bcos it's a well organized business of Northern elitist.

The economy of the country have stumbled, law abiding citizens dyeing in hunger, killings of innocent people everywhere u didn't call on ur Padi (Buhari) to do something, only banditry is ur concern! Allah ya isa

If this man is not been arrested within 24hrs. This administration is useless

This man is a security risk

If this man was a southern, he would have been locked up by now, to explain his role with the bandits. Unfortunately, in Buhari's government, tribalism and nepotism is the ultimate.

Maybe we should start calling this guy Mazi so that the police will focus on him.

Pls be adding source to all these quotes

I wonder why an arrest as not been attempted on this guy, but if this is coming from Sunday Igboho or Mazi Nnamadi Kalu we all know what would have happened.

See threat oo

FG will not get this man arrested and questioned. And someone is taking about one nigeria. Damn

Gumi is a terrorist with impunity in a terrorist country nigeria, where the government sponsors terrorism. If the world continues to keep mute, this terror activities will eventually encroach other west African nations

If this man was an igbo man, Dss would have pick him long ago.

Do you see this man? He is the minister of defense seconded to the Fulani bandits

Ah, Naija's Vice President (Administration) has spoken Ooo. Parents should better withdraw their children from school Ooo.🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

North----the problem of Nigeria. Gumi--- the baba of bandit. All of una are terrorist....

Govt negotiate with bandits, that's interesting.

This man is a threat to national security

The ways information is managed in Nigeria quickens one's withdrawal of patriotism. How does a government permit an individual to issue such sensitive updates on criminals without being taken through the process of the law? Well, this is Nigeria. Most of us are done!

This man is evil

shame to British government that are highly supporting them knowing fully well that this people are empty in terms of human capital but their greedy with neo colonist idea won't let them stop rather they go on supporting them through BBC pidgin rubbish..

wot are ur proves

Hmm mm mm...

It will not be better for you, I saw the news somewhere else and I login to Twitter to confirm it, you will die a horrible death, you are talking about providing for bandit when Buhari said there’s no work in Nigeria again

Only the North can solve its own problems. Thus, when the indigenes upthere have had enough, they will call for the arrest of Gumi and those sponsoring kidnapping/banditry over there. Until then, they can continue to attribute it like they always do to the will of Allah.

AREWA people are the major problem facing themselves..... They are just nothing in Nigeria but problem... I support Biafra and Oduduwa with all my heart Because AREWA people can never wise!

God pls help us visit his tent with peace and silence. We have heard enough of this indulgence. Edakun Baba God.

This is so called scholar oooo, this man supposed to be in custody

Chief bandit

It's high time FG asked cleric Gumi to closemouthed if he doesn't have a panacea for the banditry in Nigeria. He and his likes brought foreign Fulani to Nigeria to unleash mayhem on entire nation he's now saying that FG should negotiate. That's rubbish.

You’re smoking bandit 😏

And why is this man still alive or walking freely without jailed🤷🏽‍♂️

Self minister of banditry.

Nigerians,pls I need a job.. Hunger is real😪.. pls help me get a job or recommend me to others. I beg you in God's name. I'm a graduate of public administration.i can barely feed 😪Please retweet my pinned tweet💔🙏

And this man is still moving around freely.. wow!!

This man is the bandit we are looking for

Wow !!! Kidnapper in Chief

Gumi Bandera... Actor

But Buhari can't speak d language Gumi and his bandits understand..

Oh my God come and see the country that we’re, for God sake who’s this man

Gumi have more Intel than all the security formation in Nigeria Gumi can issue a statement concerning any security issues unchallenged Gumi is untouchable because he is a Northerner

Bandits language is negotiate but IPOB that is not kidnapping anyone is to deal with them

What is happening this man a confirmed terrorist

Bandits' marketing officer have spoken o, he wants govt to negotiate quickly so he could get his next commission alert.

Waiting concern me after all it's happening in d north they should sought themselves out

There's no point of dupting you Sir Gumi, your institution has succeed in over power PMB Govt but watch your back, may you one day feel the heat in kitchen so you'll know what other parents are feeling.

Ms_nerdylicious Who be all this pple

Why them never arrest this man?

Our so called president will not teach this man the language he will understand

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 am fucking sick of dis motherfucking, exasperation, peeved, disgruntled country called nigeria... Who d fuck is dis guy

Mr. Gumi and the bandits, God dey o

Bandits spokesman.

Come what's all this now I dyyy tire to dyy entre diz bird app dyyy see things like diz o i swear Ahn ahn

Arrest this guy

Na wa oo.. Since Baba is not showing them D language they understand, Mr. Gumi their spokesperson keep telling D gov't is not safe. It's a welcome development, I hav advise 4 Mr. Gumi&bandits.just a day after 2023 election&handing over,they shouldn't exit in Nigeria soil.

Point of correction no school is safe in north u guys think can use the money Generated from west nd east to pay off your northern criminals high time country called Nigeria divide

This man is actually an “Islamic scholar”. I have said this before and I’m saying it again. Nigeria practices a highly fraudulent version of Islam. If any “Sheik” said this in UAE, wouldn’t he be arrested, tried and improsoned?

Nobody is safe in Nigeria until Sheikh Gumi is picked up, prosecuted and jailed for life!

Denis_menice Just imagine this rubbish! Is this not a threat? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I wonder why the government hasn't taken any action towards this man. Am a Muslim I stand against all the rubbish he keeps sprewing out. Even when innocent lives are lost to those animals he still defend them n the government is silent on this? Nooooo something fishy is on.

Yet HQNigerianArmy and NigeriaGov keep acting blind to Gumi's words and action. Imagine just one man speaking like the authority without any constitutional right. Its crystal clear the Buhari's govt is in support of insecurity and Gumi actions.

This man has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he knows and has hand in the insecurity facing the north, but because he's Fulani man no one has the right to call him for questioning. All this will pass and everyone will give account.

This man is a comedian he is making Name for himself hahaha Nigeria has become a laughing stock

Will you blame them, when people that should have, hand on our behalf have sold your soul to the north and make them self's enemy of their own people...one Nigeria a scam

So, you can get even more money than you’ve been getting, right?

Cash out King. Well done.

I hope that all this useless South Esth Governor are seeing it IPOB & ESN are your Ploblem OkikeAbiama is watching we move IPOB

In a disorganised environment idiots always find their voice .

He said it all. At least, they have continued to kidnap sch pupil every week without any lasting solution. Gumi has become untouchable. It even safe to defend Banditry in Nigeria than speak about government ineptitude.

I salute your courage for identifying the solution - left for government to address

That confidence tho. Wow Nigeria no get level again I tell you... make everyone just go there separate ways. All this news Dey always make me vomit.

Imagine if it were Nnamdi Kanu that made such brazen pronouncement. Just imagine what would have happened. Shame

The emperor have spoken. Lol 😂 the zoo. It will never be well with Britain 🇬🇧 for giving us this disaster calamity disgrace called country

'To secure schools, why not engage the bandits. Engage them; they are not many. You can count them with your fingers. How can you guard schools? It is not possible.' This is madness.

Chairman of bandits

Gumi is therefore a terrorist

Ok.. ,,, and government will NEVER see this man to arrest but if igbo says same thing he will hunted and killed. Our so called south east leaders hope your reading this,? Lean to support your own is the lesson here. KeepitOn

I just saw this on my WhatsApp. This is where we have found ourselves in Nigeria

Yet he won't be arrested, neither will the military be deployed to his state or even to where the bandits are operating.

This is the only solution an ex military intelligence officer has to offer Nigerians and FG. SMDH We are all on our own now

Where are the 75 Northern groups?

It seems this man has a share with the bandits and he wants the share to appreciate

Can you imagine if nah IPOB now police and Amy go start showing their wasted power..... Why haven't they arrest this man since

It is so sad the situation we found ourselves where someone will be speaking for the bandit yet the clueless government has not seen anything wrong with that

The unopposed bandit General. The boys has heard you & will perfectly decode what you saying. This country is insane.This man openly uses national newspapers to disseminate information,radio,tv,cable.He is building influence & army of underworld.

Yet he's working freely.

A sensible government who doesn't support terrorists and bandits would have Gumi in police custody by now even if it is unlawful.

He is the sympathizer of bandit and Boko Haram terrorist group.

Negotiate with bandits? Won't that inspire even more criminals to take their chances? That's the epitome of bad ideas, right there.

I'm still trying to find out what this man is in this country officially. Why is this man still walking the streets of our dear country?

What other evidence do you need to confirm this man is part of the whole thing?

He's back with a bang. Gumi the bandit negotiator.

Let this statement come from MaziNnamdiKanu .. then FG will treat IPOB in a language that they will understand. Yet this man is walking freely in Nigeria.. I saw what his brother also said . See the picture below

Honestly, this guy is not stupid but Nigerian government is useless. Cuz in a system working country , this man is supposed to be in jail by now…

Just keep on raising funds for kidnappers. I know that one day you will meet your Waterloo

This one na werey o😃😃

Gumi is not hiding or pretending that he is the founder and sponsor of Bandits that are causing havoc in Nigeria.

Thunder , ara , sango strike u ..Gumi

This man should be appointed as Minister for Bandit and Unknown Gunmen Affairs..

This man called gumi should be arrested immediately, he knows everything about bandit's

Are there no eastern clergy to intercede for UGM?

Gumi: Pay me or you will never have peace.

Gumi chief priest

Negotiation with illiterate is a huge problem, because zamfara state government they did but nothing have change.

Evil men everywhere..mad people everywhere

Ffs!!! When will they arrest this guy? 🙄

The spokesman has spoken.

We don enter one chance 😂

Minister of bandits and boko haram affairs have spoken now buhari will not teach him the language he will understand

Are these people sick or what.. for how long will the be a continuous negotiation with bandits, but you can keep oppressing the citizens while dashing criminals money.. what kind of country is this sef..

You’re now officially controlling the North and bandits, they’ll soon give you the minister of finance. Ndi era everywhere.

This man na unknown gun men 🤣🤣🤣

Says lead terrorist Gumi.

And this man is walking free in this same country.

Middle man

Terrorist asking his follow terrorist for negotiations and I hope u all see y the Eastern region reject one Nigeria (zoon) that the British have forced them to be one UKParliament UKinNigeria US_AU USinNigeria simon_ekpa StateDept UN GEJonathan CanadaUN RussiaUN

The govt is fighting unarmed guys in the southeast, but the govt can negotiate with terrorists from the north... This is pure rubbish...

The reality has been engineered and stated

Gum- Gum! We keep observing.

Is this man on drugs this statement is very distructive no body is saying anything

Why is this man seriously clamoring for government to negotiate with bandits instead of him calling on security forces to crack them down?

He’s defending terrorist and no one is saying anything Is this a govt ? We need restructuring because we don’t think a like The north thinks differently from the south

Negotiates with what😳

This simply mean he's part of what is happening in the North. Imagine is Nnamdi kanu says such a thing. It's unfortunate we live in a country where one region feels they are superior to the other.

This can only happen in a lawless state

Buhari will not talk to this man and his bandits in the language that they will understand oo! DSS will not invite him oo.

Why is this man not arrested yet. Why is he still getting media attention, what makes him different from a bandit.. he's even a greater treat to national security than Nnamdi kanu and Sunday ighoho

This man is a bandit

What a country Nigeria with over 200 million citizens.🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️

Don't even know why this dude has not been arrested

...and he walks amongst us. He laid bare his disguise and needed no holes for hiding. He walks amongst us.

Them no fit arrest this man? WTF🤦🤦🤦

In Nigeria bandits and unknown gun men the over power federal government hmm what a country 🤔🤔

olurukky Why haven't they arrested this Terrorist?

Buhari, DSS, the Army, police & the govt in general is pretending as if they're not seeing how Gumi is publicly defending terrorists; The fact they're turning a blind eye speaks volumes abt hypocrisy & conspiracy that runs deep in the FG. Bandits are growing wings cos of the FG.

Is this man Gumi not the head of bandits? When are they going to get him arrested

Still those gangsters inside Aso Rock cant instruct DSS to invite him for questions only targeted South East and South South indigenes

God why is thistle guy still living? This country is cursed

In Nigeria bandits and unknown gunmen the over power federal government hmm what a country ?

I beg una divide this country. This is too much to bear.

He is the leader of the bandits

This is one of them Please catch him.

This is the guy behind banditry in Nigeria

They wanted NGRPresident so they could milk the country this way. Don't worry........ In two years you'll be useless.....

And this buffoon is still walking free

Why has the atrocities of Gumi gone unchecked?. Who is backing this man?. There is no way some top Northern leaders are not backing this demented guy. Why is this guy untouchable? Where are the Senators, police, rep, dss in that country called Nigeria? Is this not terrorism?

I’m trying to understand why this man is still a free man .If it’s EndSARS protesters or peaceful protesters they are swift to act and arrest .

Says chief of bandits🙄

Minister of banditry as spoken

If Gumi is from Southern part of the country he would have been in jail along time, this is a formerly and highly referred Islamic clerics who suppose to preach to the bandits with a view to stop their Criminal pursuit now D Attorney General of these Criminals and Terrorist etc

See if na southerner Dey make these statements dem don hold am this man needs to be tamed ASAP

So you don't want to arrest this Man

Yet, those who are asking for a referendum are the terrorists...

Welcome to Nigeria where headline like this is TRUE and COMMON.

More like a threat?…… It’s the impetus for me though….

His now the president of Northerners.

Gumi knows better about the whereabouts of these bandit.... Why cant we call a spade a spade

Cashmoney

Tf

And this man is walking free. Gumi is a terrorist

Bandits spokesman.

If it's an onye dot in that said this now...

Their sponsor is talking

Sometimes I wonder what kind of human being is this Government should negotiate with bandit...... please is their any country in the world that negotiate with Bandit.....so then why is the army stands for? Nigeria

Were is the DSS? This man is a suspect and need to be investigated

Chief superior of Bandit have spoken

Negotiate with bandits but can't with peaceful protesters

Imagine

I wonder why this man hasn't condemned the bandits, it seems he care so much about government negotiating with bandits than condemning banditry. I hope and pray the current onslaught on the bandits is sustained and wish our military kill them all to deter others would-be bandits.

They have just told y'all

A glaring enemy of Nigeria

My God! Imagine the confidence wtf!!

U see what an inflamatory ultrance yet theyy look away.....what an audacity....ohh am sorry buhari was onces in his shoes as terrorist negotiator

Really Bandits are now the law in Nigeria? We ain’t different from Afghanistan.

This country called Nigeria is a full-time cast. Imagine this foolish Gumi supporting Bandits for negotiation and the so-called Igbo Leaders are they condemning, killing, and disowning IPOB and ESN. What a shame the Igbo leaders.

Terrorist advocate Gumi.

The media should stop giving attention to this man

The North is intentional about the crisis rocking the North and Nigeria in general. There's more to what we're seeing than meet the eye.

Ole

Says their grand patron.

Dear PoliceNG that you still have not quizzed or invited Gumi after these heavy, scary and threatening statements is both embarrassing and suspicious. You must remember the world is watching. 🙏

And this terror apologist is still walking about free? 🤦🏾‍♂️

You heard!

Gumi says there are 100,000 armed Fulani terrorists in the Northwest alone. The South MUST brace up. Defend your borders!

Gumi and his men holding the whole country to ransom, while the president and his presidency keeps speaking to innocent citizens in the language he thinks they understand. Indeed, there was a country 🤡🤡

Shut up! You just want your share of the national cake. Awon werey

This man again

Thinly-veiled threat. What's the government doing about that?

Gumi might be a bandit kingpin. I mean, what is this?

look at how Nigerians voted in Terrorists into power

KenRoth StateDeptSpox CFR_org StateDept UN CNN IDF Hope you all can see what we are saying,That Terrorists Apologists Sheikh Gumi Should have been Arrested for having link Bandits. It's business that they're doing in the Northern NIGERIA. Divide NIGERIA let everyone go!

This is the most ridiculous thing have seen in my life.. This Government has lost priorities. Buhari's Regime Is Certified FAILURE. So shameful.

I laugh when people say this man should be arrested and investigated. A question for you, can you arrest and investigate yourself

Meanwhile we are still looking for our problem on banditry.
