Controversial Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, an Islamic scholar and educator, has criticized Nigeria’s legal system, claiming that citizens do not receive justice there.
Speaking on Monday, August 8, during a symposium on peacebuilding held in Maiduguri as part of programs to rehabilitate former Boko Haram militants into society, Gumi remarked;
“Whoever has any interest in our country, we have made available for him soldiers he can conscript.
“So why do we leave our children uneducated? Why is education not for everybody? Why do we leave our population poor?
“Some Nigerians are riding private jets while some Nigerians don’t know where to put their children in school. There is social injustice. If you go to the court system, justice is not there. The fabric of power is broken down. So, the children are there to be used by anybody.”
