Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Gumi mourned the deaths of those who lost their lives “just looking for a job”.
In a post on his Facebook page, he said:
“If educated youth cannot get a job, businesses are collapsing and closing, those that have no access to any governmental amenities – electricity, tap water, hospitals, fertilisers, etc are more apt to be poorer. So who is that rich enough to sponsor ‘gunmen’ or ‘herdsmen’ or BH to be rampaging the innocent villages both Muslims and Christians in the north? Men over hundred riding motorcycles carrying AK47s ravaging communities with impunity. I know only one terrorist organisation that is rich enough to sponsor mercenaries to do this dirty work. The M.E.N.D.
1. They have the venom of hatred for all Nigerians especially the north.
2. Their so called ‘ex members’ are enjoying government patronage making millions ‘guarding’ oil pipelines.
3. They have declared GEJ must continue or hell will loose on Nigerians.
4. Theirs misguided provocative statements are met with state silence or even protection. I never heard Abati rebutting Asari. Birds of the same feathers?
Only a dumb person will be then looking for the financial source of these mayhems.
