Tuesday, December 9, 2025 - Islamic cleric Sheikh Gumi has described the kidnapping of school children as a “lesser evil” compared to killing soldiers, insisting that Nigeria must negotiate with bandits to prevent greater bloodshed.
Speaking in an interview with the BBC shared on Tuesday,
December 9, Gumi said that while the abduction of minors is “evil,” it remains
less grievous when compared to the maiming of soldiers.
“Saying that
kidnapping children is a lesser evil than killing your soldiers, definitely is
lesser. K!lling is worse than, but they are all ev!l. It’s just a lesser ev!l.
Not all ev!ls are of the same power.''he said
He cited previous incidents, including the mass abduction in
Kebbi State, arguing that the victims were freed without fatalities.
“So it’s a
lesser ev!l than, like, what happened in Kebbi. They abd@cted children, and
they were released. They didn’t k!ll them.”he said
