Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, it can be recalled, caused a massive stir after he stated that bandits and the Boko Haram groups should be treated same way Niger Delta militia groups were treated by the administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan.
He also warned against castigating the group, as he maintained that the militia groups in the Niger Delta region were tamed through programs that reintegrated them to the society.
Lere Olayinka, widely admired for his outspokenness, pointed out that the statements from the former military captain were not only contentious, but unnecessary as the group lack ideology.
