Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a controversial Islamic cleric from Kaduna State, has confirmed that he was invited by security agencies for questioning and he was treated with respect during the questioning.
Gumi confirmed the invitation after the Federal Government confirmed that he was invited for questioning over his comments on banditry.
Gumi has consistently called for granting amnesty to bandits and negotiating with them for peace to reign.
The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, spoke to State House Correspondents after Monday’s Federal Council meeting and said that the security agencies are working tirelessly to get the kind of information that will solve the problem of banditry.
Idris also said that nobody is above the law, and if Gumi has suggestions that the security agencies think are reckless, they will address it.
Gumi confirmed the invitation and said that there was no cause for alarm. He also said that they had a productive interaction on how to curb banditry, and there was no animosity but courtesy and respect.
He called for the nation to unite and work in synergy to achieve an everlasting peace while thanking everyone for their concern.
