Kaduna based-Islamic preacher and teacher, Sheik Ahmad Gumi has debunked the news that he was invited by the State Security Service over his recent comments on bandits-security agents collaboration.
It was reported that Sheik Gumi was invited by the SSS after he alleged that some security agents work with bandits in killing and kidnapping for ransom earlier in the week.
However, the cleric, while speaking to the media after the Jumaat prayers at the Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna State, said he was neither arrested nor invited by the SSS.
Sheik Gumi added that he gets support from the government in terms of security each time he ventures into the forest to meet with bandits.
He said;
“Nobody invited me for questioning or any arrest, I can say that categorically,” Mr. Gumi told Channels TV. “Since I ventured into the forest, I went there with full security, the police, with the knowledge of the DSS, traditional rulers, the Fulani leaders, I never went alone”
“All along, I have been doing it with the government and there is no difference between us and the authority. So people should have their peace”
