Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has backed Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi’s claim that the Nigerian government is aware of the names and locations of all terrorists in the country.
Sowore disclosed that the government can wipe out all the terrorists and criminal in a day if its willing.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, Sowore said: “Sheikh Gumi is not a foolish man as people think, he is actually very smart. He might be smart for different reasons and be religious in his ways and he’s not telling you anything new.
“All these terrorists are in bed with people in government, whenever there is mass kidnapping, why do you think the government is able to reach out to the kidnappers? It’s because they have their phone numbers
“If they call one side, the one in Niger, those ones will give them the telephone number of the one in Katsina, who will say it’s not us, its our friends, Gumi is not lying.
“No major terrorists or criminal that is not known to Nigerian security agencies but you find kidnappers doing MCs at the naming ceremony of Police Commissioners in Nigeria, they know themselves. If they want to wipe out all the terrorists today, they know where to get them.”
