The federal government has disclosed that Ahmad Gumi, the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, has been called in for questioning regarding his statements on the activities of bandits in the nation.
Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and Orientation, made this announcement on Monday during a press briefing at the State House, Abuja.
Idris emphasized that Gumi is subject to the law, asserting that the government has found it necessary to request his presence for questioning.
Over recent years, Gumi has garnered attention for his remarks on the actions of bandits, and he has been frequently photographed with some of them.
In a recent statement, Gumi asserted that terrorism in the country is not funded by Nigerians but rather by the terrorists who engage in kidnapping for ransom.
