The controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has been calling on the government to negotiate with bandits.
I used to be against Sheikh Gumi's push for dialoguing with bandits. However, experience is the best teacher. The man has a point. We have been using force, and they have returned more forcefully. Perhaps it is time we listen to Gumi and try dialogue. I wouldn't say I like it. But if it will save human lives, I can live with it. Listen, we have dialogued with belligerent non-state actors within Nigeria in the past. I do not want to name specific groups in order not to offend. And those dialogues brought peace to the South. We can do the same in other parts of the country. If dialogue and amnesty can solve our security challenges better than force and bullets, as happened in Northern Ireland, then we should not be ashamed to go for it and save lives.
