Controversial Islamic cleric Sheik Ahmad Gumi has offered a startling perspective on the motivations behind the widespread kidnapping and banditry in Nigeria, suggesting that the ransoms collected are necessary for terrorists to sustain their operations.
Gumi argued that the terrorists’ actions are financially driven due to pressure from the Nigerian government.
Speaking on the issue, Sheik Gumi stated:
“The terrorists need the money they’re getting from kidnapping, It’s not like they are living luxurious lives; Government is putting too much pressure on them so they need money to finance their war machines.”
