 Sheikh Gumi believes that labeling bandits as terrorists will only exacerbate the problem.

 Muhammad Ahmad Gumi, an Islamic scholar in Kaduna, says labeling bandits as terrorists will increase bloodshed in Nigeria. In addition, he noted that banditry is a component of the socio-economic crises that Nigeria is now facing.

Gumi said that labeling bandits as terrorists was a political choice made for the sake of expediency. Malam Tukur Mamu, the Islamic teacher's Media Consultant and the Dan-Iyan Fika, published a statement saying all of this.

"I think the federal government has succumbed to media blackmail by a portion of the country," he added. the federal government. It has little practical effect because they are already being battled and punished as terrorists before the proclamation."It's simply a name, and I don't think it will affect anything on the ground."

Although IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafran) was also deemed terrorist, the statement was also supported by the Court's decision. However, as you can see, even world community did not recognize FG's declaration of IPOB. So far, it hasn't been able to do what it set out to do. As long as their citizenship is intact, they are not prohibited from traveling to other nations, and it has not been renounced." Then, what kind of statement is that?

In my heart, I hope that Nigerians would not view the herders as terrorists, but that they will view the crime of the few among them against innocent people as acts of terrorism, just as we view IPOB and its assaults on security personnel and other northern residents as acts of terrorism. there are very few herders who are bandits if you do a census.

We must be careful not to give people the green light to target all herders as potential terrorists and use the law to oppress them. It's going to wreak further havoc." Despite the proclamation, there will be no shift in the dynamics. The military has already begun to engage them. In spite of this, they still committed kidnappings and murders. Despite the proclamation, they will not stop their attacks on society.

'The Fulani banditry is a social and economic crisis. we've seen it, and we've had a lot of interaction with them. We provided direction to the federal government on how to proceed. Engagement, discourse and fairness are the only ways to win." Governments have had to acknowledge the unpleasant realities of rehabilitation and empowerment in order to bring about relative peace in the Niger Delta.

"Equitable wealth distribution and fairness for all must be the goal in Nigeria. People don't want to believe it, but the Fulanis have endured so much prior to the current banditry crisis. Cattle rustling and extortion by security forces have resulted in the loss of their lawful sources of income, i mean their cows. For true reconciliation and inclusion, it must be addressed. It's important for them to feel like they belong."
