Greenfield: Gumi Conspiring With Bandits To Extort Parents Of Abducted Students – Fani Kayode
- “If the FG refuses to act against Gumi it will raise questions about their commitment to fighting terror & stopping the terrorists”
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has questioned the involvement of renowned Islamic cleric, Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, in the purported negotiations with bandits for release of abducted Greenfield University Students in Kaduna.
Fani Kayode alleged that the controversial cleric is fronting for Bandits and terrorists and is working in cahoot with them to swindle forlorn parents of the abducted students.
The PDP stalwart was reacting to a now viral video of one the parents of the abducted students, where the parent alleged that Gumi had helped facilitate a meeting with a Fulani man who collected ₦800,000 from each parent to secure release of the students.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode called on the federal to interrogate and prosecute Gumi for his relationship with the bandits, noting that the cleric had been benefiting from ransoms paid to the abductors (bandits) for the release of their captives
According to him, a TV station quoted a mother of the student saying, “They took us to Gumi’s house. He directed us to Ahmad who invited a Fulani from Kaduna. We contributed N800,000 for him. He told us that it was just for transport. I cried & pleaded with him, saying I’m a widow. He said it wasn’t his concern.”
Kayode warned that the FG’s failure to investigate Ahmad Gumi would reveal its position on the fight against terrorism in the country.
Fani-Kayode averred that the revelation of the parent indicted Gumi as accomplice to terrorists and Bandits.
“I hereby call on the FG to invite & interrogate Ahmad Gumi. Assuming this lady’s testimony is true, it provides a clear evidence of him being an accessory and accomplice to terrorism, abduction, kidnapping and murder. He is a BAG man, FRONT and PR officer for the terrorists that have plagued our land & I do not doubt that he benefits from the ransoms that are being paid. If these were not the case, he would not spend his entire life attempting to defend, justify, rationalise & explain their barbaric, homicidal, savage & beastly ways.
“These people have so much blood on their hands, yet Gumi still holds himself out as their advocate & best friend. He is nothing but an extortionist who thrives on the misery and blood of those that have been murdered and kidnapped. First, it was Pantami and now this!

“How much longer do the people of Nigeria have to put up with evil & wicked men like this? Enough is enough! If no one else will say it I WILL. Gumi must be brought to justice & so must every single one of his foreign Fulani terrorist friends & all those within & outside.
Gumi
“Government that have links with ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, the Fulani terrorists, the Taliban, ISWA, Al Shabab & any other evil terrorist organisation which seeks to kill and Islamise our people and conquer and occupy our territory and nation.
“Nigerians are being murdered every day & our soldiers are on the war front being slaughtered by these barbarians & animals yet some that are highly placed in society are still supporting them? This is nothing but wickedness. This is evil. This is wrong. This is unacceptable.
“If the FG refuses to act against Gumi it will raise questions about their commitment to fighting terror & stopping the terrorists. Every day people are being killed & kidnapped. This madness has to stop & those behind it and that covertly support it must be brought to justice”.
