Arrest Ahmad Gumi immediately – Adeyanju tells Nigerian Govt 

The Nigerian government has been urged to immediately arrest controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi over his alleged inflammatory comments on the rising security crisis in the country.

Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju made the call on Wednesday amid the viral video of the clergy allegedly defending bandits.

In the video, Gumi could be heard saying that Fulani herdsmen are going nowhere, stating that “they are part of us and we are part of them. We must live with them”.

In a post on his Facebook page, Deji said Terrorists sympathizers should be treated as terrorists, stressing that only in a failed state people like Gumi can survive.

He wrote, “People like Gumi can only survive in a country without a government. Terrorists sympathizers are terrorists.

“His words and actions promote terrorism in Nigeria. I call on the government to arrest him to serve as a deterrent to others”.
