Federal Govt. invites Gumi for questioning
Mohammed Idris, minister of information, has revealed that Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, has been invited for questioning following his criticism of the federal government’s designation of his associate, Tukur Mamu as a terrorism financier.
Mamu is one of the 15 terror financiers the government announced recently. Displeased by the development, Gumi said Mamu’s case was sub-judice and only the court could designate him as such.
At a press briefing he addressed on Monday, the minister, Idris, stated that Gumi would be questioned, adding he was not above the law.
“Government will not stop at anything to get the kind of information that will solve our problem.
“The security agencies are up and doing. Gumi and any other individual for that matter is not above the law.
“If he has suggestions that is for the security agencies to take and if they thing also that appears to be reckless they will also address it.
“Nobody is above the law and I am aware that he has also been a guest of security agencies to answer questions.
“When you make remarks that bother on our National Security, it is incumbent on security agencies to dig further into that and they are doing just that, no one is above the law.”
