Following the invitation of Ahmad Gumi, the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric by the federal government, the controversial cleric says he had a “productive interaction” with security agencies who invited him over his comments on the activities of bandits in the country.
In a social media post on Tuesday, the cleric described his meeting with security agents as a “productive interaction on how to curb banditry”.
Gumi said “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 wrote.
“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.”
CANDIDREPORTERS.COM recalls that on Monday, Mohammed Idris, minister of information and orientation, disclosed that the federal government had invited Gumi over some of his remarks.
