Kumuyi Advises FG on Repentant Terrorists

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has called for caution on the issue of the reintegration of repentant terrorists.

No fewer than 8,000 suspected terrorists had surrendered to troops in the last few months and they are being considered for reintegration into the society.

However, Kumuyi has advised the federal government that the sincerity of those who surrendered should be affirmed.

He spoke yesterday after he arrived in Abuja for a five-day crusade with the theme, ‘Divine Solution Global,’ slated for Friday.

Kumuyi said: “The government should approach the issue with caution in order to restore peace in the country because of the past experiences. The government will have to look at sincerity, and as we think about that together, it is a two-way programme, which is like having the carrot and the stick. Sometimes we have to use the carrot method so that there can be peace; the important thing is to have peace in our country.”

On resident doctors, Kumuyi called for a middle ground between the government and the striking doctors.

“The solution is not to attack each other and find fault, but to find a middle ground. I believe that we are about seeing the end of the tunnel,” he said.

Kumuyi also said Nigeria would experience real independence from attacks, oppression and torture as it celebrated this year’s Independence on October 1.
