Vote against politicians that will attack, kill bandits – Gumi tells Northerners

The cleric argues that bandits are warriors who ought to be dealt with diplomatically rather than slaughtered.

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a controversial Islamic cleric, has cautioned Northerners against voting for politicians who won’t pardon the robbers wreaking havoc in the area.

The cleric argues that bandits are warriors who ought to be dealt with diplomatically rather than slaughtered.

This was revealed by the Muslim cleric during one of his most recent sermons.

Vote against candidates who support battling bandits. The combatants are our forest residents—our warriors in the forest.

So cast your vote for candidates who will call and negotiate with our people (bandits) once in power in order to offer them what they want so that peace can reign.

Gumi is renowned for visiting woodland bandits in an effort to come to a peace agreement with them.
