Reasons Why SSS Cannot arrest me – Gumi
SSS Cannot arrest me, it has been reported that the Gumi in his statement said that SSS didn’t arrest me; I have government backing to meet bandits.
“All along, I have been doing it with the government and there is no difference between us and the authority. So people should have their peace.”
Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has denied that he was invited or arrested by the State Security Service (SSS), adding that the government was aware of his rapport with the bandits in the forests.

The cleric was invited by the SSS after he alleged that security agents collaborate with bandits to engage in killing and kidnapping for ransom while speaking on Arise TV earlier in the week.
Mr Gumi after Jumaat prayer at Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna State, however, denied claims that he was invited or arrested by the SSS.
“Nobody invited me for questioning or any arrest, I can say that categorically,” Mr Gumi told Channels TV. “Since I ventured into the forest, I went there with full security, the police, with the knowledge of the DSS, traditional rulers, the Fulani leaders, I never went alone.”
Mr Gumi added that all along he and government officials have been engaging the bandits and there is no cause for alarm from the public.
