“Who appointed Gumi middleman between the government and Boko Haram? Listen, for me, unless you come and tell me this is what Gumi said that is inciting that you are comparing to Kanu…anyway what we’re discussing is different…

“But I’m saying that you cannot compare anybody with Kanu who boldly said go and kill policemen. I think sometimes…policemen are brothers; they are our uncles; they have children.”

According to The Nation, he lamented that after security agents are killed, their wives become widows, and their children become orphans.
