Group demands arrest, prosecution of Sheikh Gumi over insecurity

A group under the aegies of World Institute for Peace (WIfP) has demanded the arrest and prosecution controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, over his repeated comments and stance on insecurity in the country.

The group, in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday, said it had become imperative for security agencies to question Gumi to determine the extent of his involvement in the insecurity ravaging the country, especially the northern region.

The WIfP’s statement which was endorsed by its Chairman, Lamina Kamiludeen, during meeting held in Osogbo, Osun State on Saturday, said it was worried by Gumi’s incessant outbursts against the Nigerian military and other security agents whenever they took action against bandits and terrorists.
