Sheikh Ahmed Gumi, a northern Nigeria Islamic cleric, has been known to negotiate with terrorists in their hide outs and also to advocate for them.
Now, with increased banditry activities in the country, actor Imeh Bishop Umoh, better known as Okon Lagos, called for Gumi to be prosecuted for terrorism.
The actor wrote on Instagram: "Sheikh Gumi is a proven banditry apologist. It's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that there is a huge deficiency, if not a total lack of courage to arrest, investigate and subsequently prosecute and convict Sheikh Gumi if found culpable for terr*rism.
"According to El-Rufai, the only repentant terr*rist is a de@d one and I totally agree. Keel them all! Save Nigeria!!
"No responsible government negotiates with terrorists!!!"
He added: "Yes there may be political pressures from sacred cows, but at this point does it matter? Let sacred cows be touched. Let heads roll.
"That's not too much ado for our roads and farmlands to be safe again, our communities livable, as well as our churches and sacred worship centers, safe like before
"Our country is near gone. Let's save what's remaining of this already existing ruins and restore her back to glory. Mr. President Sir, I know you can. I hope you will."
