“Hypocrites Like You Are Why Terrorists Keep Spilling Blood” — IPOB Fires Back At Sheikh Gumi

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have blasted Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, for comparing IPOB to

bandits who were recently declared terrorists by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

It would be recalled that the Sheikh had on Saturday, November 27, kicked against the pronouncement of bandits as terrorists while stating that the development will only make things worse.

 IPOB via its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, has released a statement, calling Gumi a hypocrite for being an advocate for terrorists.

 In the statement released on Monday, November 27, the group said it was a sacrilege for the Islamic cleric to compare IPOB with bandits as the group has always been peaceful. 

 The statement reads in part: 

 “In case Gumi has forgotten, Fulani bandits and herdsmen are already designated the fourth deadliest terror organisation in the world. But IPOB, as a peaceful movement maintains its presence in over 100 countries of the world without any molestations.

 “It’s only in Nigeria that Gumi and his likes will liken IPOB to a terror group that it is not. What a blackmail. 

 “Can the mischievous Gumi be honest to tell the world if IPOB has kidnapped anybody at any time and demanded ransom for him to liken us with bandits? 

 “Can he swear by Allah that IPOB has carried out any terror attack against anybody at any time.

“We believe in peaceful restoration of Biafra and our philosophy has not changed.

 “Gumi should hide his face in shame over his open support of bandits, while claiming to be an Islamic cleric. 

 “It’s because of hypocrites like him that bandits and terrorists keep spilling blood across the country as they know he will always make a case for them.

“Were Nigeria to be a sane society, Gumi and his types should have been serving their jail terms for their unhidden sympathy for terrotists. 

 “He should stop deceiving himself, the world already knows who he is working for, and whose interest he defends.”
