Islamic Cleric, Ahmad Gumi, on Wednesday said it was unfair to compare the activities of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and those killer-herdsmen and bandits.
IPOB has been demanding for the secession of the South East through referendum.
According to him, crimes committed by herdsmen are lesser in weight than those of IPOB.
Gumi while speaking on Arise TV said there should be fairness in the comparison between the two groups.
According to him, one “is killing our gallant men” while the other is “kidnapping children to make money and not to kill them”.
“IPOB is attacking the police, the army, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other government institutions; killing our men in service.
”And the herdsmen are kidnapping children not to kill them but to get money; so how can you compare somebody who is killing our gallant men directly to somebody who is kidnapping children to make money and not to kill them. Look, we need some fairness in what we are doing.”
