Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has described the night raid of the house of his associate, Malam Tukur Mamu’s house and office in Kaduna by operatives of DSS as unlawful.
He said it was persecution akin to the ordeal of the late Sardauna of Sokoto Sir Ahmadu Bello and former Head of State, General Murtala Muhammed.
SaharaReporters had during the week reported that Mamu was during the week arrested on the orders of the Nigerian government.
The organisation said subsequently that security agencies executed valid search warrants on Mamu’s residence and office during which incriminating materials, including military accoutrements and large amounts in different currencies and denominations as well as financial transaction instruments, were recovered.
“This gentleman (Mamu) is only helping; he is helping and people are being rescued.
“It was the bandits who appointed Mamu as negotiator because they saw that he is fearless in his news publication. But the question of whether Mamu is making mistakes in his duties as negotiator, it is impossible for him not to make mistakes. But you ought to look at the overwhelming success of his intervention.
