This is a good move by the Government if it is followed through, i said this a while back that NSCDC officers should be solely responsible for protecting VIPs, while the Police face their primary duty of fighting crime.

izzou:
If the Northerners were really serious about ending insecurity, they will first take laws into their hands and catch Gumi.

What's not inciting about someone who encourages ransom payments, and will use his voice to discourage apprehending these bandits?

Let them keep pampering Gumi

One day, all of them will relocate to the South. E remain small

izzou:
How many times will they withdraw Police from VIP in this country??

Gumi dey troll Nigerians.

Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has threatened to take legal action against human rights lawyer, Malcolm Emokiniovo Omirhobo, over what he described as defamatory allegations capable of inciting religious tension in Nigeria.

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday, Gumi demanded that Omirhobo retract his statement and issue an “unreserved apology” within 48 hours or face a lawsuit for defamation and incitement.


The threat comes in response to a statement issued earlier by Omirhobo, titled “Terrorism Apology Is a Crime, Government Must Investigate and Prosecute Sheikh Ahmad Gumi,” in which the lawyer accused the cleric of “publicly justifying and defending terrorists” and called for his arrest and prosecution by security agencies.

In the statement, Omirhobo cited provisions of the 1999 Constitution, the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, and the Criminal Code Act, arguing that Gumi’s comments and visits to bandit camps amounted to support for terrorism and posed a threat to national security.

Human rights lawyer, Malcolm Emokiniovo Omirhobo, has refused to apologise to Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, after being given a 24-hour ultimatum to withdraw his comments that called for Gumi’s investigation.

In a statement shared on Facebook on Friday, titled “Sheikh Gumi, I Did Not Defame You—Let’s Meet in Court,” Omirhobo said he stood by his words and would not retract them.

The lawyer explained that his earlier statement was not defamatory, but a call made in the public interest and protected by the Nigerian Constitution

“For the avoidance of doubt, my statement is not defamatory. It is a constitutionally protected comment made in national interest, based on facts and the law,” he said.

Reaffirming his position, the lawyer said no one is above the law, no matter their religious or social status. “I stand by my statement. I won’t take it back. No individual, cleric or otherwise, is above the law,” Omirhobo said.

He also called on the government to take the issue seriously, noting that defending or excusing terrorists is dangerous and should not be ignored.

“Anyone who defends or justifies the actions of terrorists is raising serious national security concerns that deserve investigation,” he added.

You type long without addressing the context of the argument.

I called Gumi views nonsense and not inciting.

When Peter Obi said IPOB are his brothers and governments should look at the root causes causing the agitation and not use violence. Was that inciting?

monerozi5590:
Show me where I defended Gumi for his takes?

This is what I even said to you previously.

monerozi5590:
Show where I defended Gumi. Please show don't come here and misinterpret me.

I said for all his utterances, he hasn't crossed that line so what will FG charge him for.

Please don't come here and lie. I called his take nonsense but he hasn't made any inciting comments like you said.

monerozi5590:
The media houses should stop giving that drunkard Gumi the necessary attention. FG goal is to bombard and kill terrorists.

monerozi5590:
I have told you to forget Gumi and his nonsense views. Nobody takes him serious here.

Payporte01:
This one just scammed people 63k pretending to be from gaza

“The herdsmen are not like IPOB, they are kidnapping children to make money, let’s be fair with them.”
