Sheikh Gumi Invited By SSS

The Department of State Services (DSS) on Friday confirmed that
it had invited Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.

DSS spokesman, Dr Peter Afunanya, in a WhatsApp platform said
tersely, “Gumi was invited by the Service.”

He did not say why the cleric was invited.

“It’s not out of place for the Service to invite any person of
interest,” he added.

For running verbal darts in the mouth like a leaking faucet,
Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, an Islamic cleric, scholar, Mufti and
Mufassir at the Kaduna Central Mosque, was invited by the
Department of State Security Service (DSS) on Thursday for
questioning, VOA reports.

Gumi was, as the report indicated, invited by the DSS after he
alleged on Arive TV interview that security officials “work with
bandits to carry out criminal activities.”

In fact, the Nigerian Army denied the accusation: “It is
essential to remind ourselves that this same military, being
accused of connivance, are the ones who recently put their lives on
the line to rescue abductees of the Government Secondary School,
Birnin Yauri from kidnappers,” the army explained in a
statement.

“While the NA will not attempt to excuse the possibility of
black sheep amongst its fold, it must be stated unambiguously that
it will not condone any form of sabotage or aiding and assisting
the enemy by any personnel.”

Apart from the security forces that are angry with Gumi, many
Nigerians criticized him over the same interview where he argued
that because they kidnap only for money, bandits are better than
members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who murder their
victims.
