We paid N800,000 to someone Gumi introduced us to –Parent of kidnapped Kaduna student

One of the parents of the kidnapped students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna State, has said in an effort to secure the release of their children, she and other parents met with controversial Islamic scholar, Ahmad Gumi, who directed them to a Fulani man named Ahmed.

Speaking in an interview, one of the parents narrated their encounter with Gumi, who has been speaking for bandits of late. Claiming they went  to Gumi’s house who introduced them to A Fulani man, Ahmed. The parents then contributed almost N800,000 to him but he said the money was just for transportation.

Gumi has also recently advised to the federal government to get N100 million from the Central Bank of Nigeria which will be used to secure the release of the students abducted by bandits from Greenfield University, Kaduna.

However, Former Presidential Aspirant, Adamu Garba, has said that Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has to state in clear terms whether he’s with bandits and terrorists or with the Nigerian people.
