Nigeria social media don catch fire as controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, talk say child abduction fit be ‘lesser evil’ compared to killing soldiers.

Gumi drop the shocking statement while analysing the rising banditry crisis for North-West. Him claim say some criminal groups dey kidnap children “to bargain for attention,” instead of engaging security forces directly.

But Nigerians no take the matter lightly. Human rights activists, parents, security experts and even former military officers don blast the comment, calling am “dangerous,” “insensitive,” and “an attempt to justify terrorism.”

Many Nigerians dey ask how anybody fit describe kidnapping innocent children as a better option, especially when thousands of families still dey recover from past school abductions like Chibok, Dapchi, Bethel, and Kuriga, as reported by Channels TV.

Security analysts warn say such statements fit embolden criminals and weaken national morale, especially among frontline soldiers wey dey risk their lives daily.

As outrage dey spread, calls don dey grow for government and security agencies to address the impact of Gumi’s comment and reaffirm the country’s stance against all forms of terrorism.

The debate never end — Nigerians still dey ask:
