Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, Islamic scholar, Tuesday confirmed that he was invited by security agents on Monday over the nation’s insecurity, especially banditry in the North.
He said he had a fruitful discussion with Nigerian security agents who invited him over security issues.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, had Monday stated at the State House, Abuja, that Gumi had been invited by the security agencies.
Gumi issued a statement on his Facebook page saying there was no animosity in the meeting with the security agents, but respect.
“Last night I got many frantic calls from well-wishers and journalists about a news item that I was interviewed by security. There is no cause for alarm,” Gumi wrote.
“Yes, we had a productive interaction on how to curb banditry as we are all trying -each in his sphere – to tackle the monster bedeviling 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. Thank you for your concern. May Allah continue to protect us all from all evil. Amin.”
