Renowned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has debunked reports the Department of State Security Service, (DSS) invited and questioned him over allegations that he claimed some soldiers were aiding banditry during an interview on a television programme.
Although the DSS spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunanya, had confirmed in a WhatsApp broadcast the cleric was invited for questioning, Dr. Gumi however took to his Facebook page, on Friday evening, to maintain he was neither invited for questioning nor arrested by the DSS.
He insisted there was nothing like that, adding that he has a good working relationship with all security outfits and he never met any bandit in the forests without representatives of security forces and State governments.
The post was titled: I Was Not Invited For Questioning Nor Arrested By The DSS.
