FG invites Gumi for questioning over comments on bandits’ activities

The federal government on Monday said the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi, has been invited for questioning over his comments on the activities of bandits in the country.

The minister of information and orientation Mohammed Idris, made it known while addressing journalists at the State House, Abuja. Idris said Gumi is not above the law, noting that the government has deemed it necessary to invite him for questioning.

Over the past few years, Gumi has gained prominence for his comments on the activities of bandits.

The popular cleric has been pictured with some bandits on many occasions. Recently, Gumi said terrorism in the country is not financed by Nigerians but by the terrorists who kidnap people for ransom.
