Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has said he had a “productive interaction” with security agencies who invited him over his comments on the activities of bandits in the country.
Recall that on Monday, Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed that the Federal Government had invited the cleric over some of his remarks.
The Minister had said Gumi was not above the law and that he would be reprimanded if security agencies deemed his comments reckless.
In a social media post yesterday, the cleric described his meeting with security agents as a “productive interaction on how to curb banditry”.
According to him, “only one person is above the law: the innocent”.
“Last night I got many frantic calls from well-wishers and journalists about a news item that I was interviewed by security. There is absolutely no cause for alarm”, he posted.
“Yes, we had a productive interaction on how to curb banditry as we are all trying — each in his own sphere — to tackle the monster bedevilling the nation. There was no animosity but courtesy and full of respect.
“We all need as a nation to unite and work in synergy to achieve an everlasting peace”, he stated.
