Controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has revealed what transpired during his meeting with the security agents.
He disclosed that he had a productive meeting with security agencies to address the issue of curtailing bandits and their activities in the Northern region.
In response to statements from the Minister of Information and Orientation, Mohammed Idris, suggesting that Gumi would be questioned regarding bandit activities, Gumi emphasized that only the innocent should be above the law.
On Tuesday, Gumi took to his Facebook page to clarify the situation, stating, “Only one person is above the law: the innocent.”
He further explained, “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.”
Gumi continued, “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 bedeviling the nation. There was no animosity but courtesy and full of respect.”
Highlighting the importance of national unity and cooperation, Gumi emphasized, “We all need as a nation to unite and work in synergy to achieve an everlasting peace.”
Previously, Gumi had urged President Bola Tinubu to join him in negotiating with bandits.
