'I Was Invited By DSS For Questioning & Released' — Kaduna Cleric, Ahmad Umar by ryloy(op): 3:55pm On Mar 24

Ahmad Umar, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, has refuted claims that he was detained by the Department of State Services (DSS), following a recent visit by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate.

In Tuesday post on his X page, Obi alleged that Umar was arrested shortly after hosting him in Kaduna last Sunday.

However, in viral video which circulated hours after @PeterObi's post, Umar refuted the claim, insisting he was neither detained nor mistreated.

The cleric said he was only invited for questioning and he had since been released.

I was not detained by the DSS, I was invited for questioning. I cooperated fully and was released.

Obi the lamba master. Honestly this guy lacks everything it takes to be a leader. Always speaking before thinking, so desperate for bad news and hyper hypocritical. You have to have a very iq to be a follower of this man. No swag, no charisma. I will denounce my nationality if this man becomes the president

That's still subtle intimidation. Has the DSS invited Sunday Igboho for questioning after warning Atiku and Obi not to come campaign in Southwest? MC Oluomo just "regained control" of the NURTW despite a subsisting court ruling to the contrary. When will he be invited for questioning?

Soldiers accompanied MC Oluomo to take over the national secretariat of the NURTW in defiance of a court judgement sacking him?

By the way, it was most likely the cleric's family or aides who alerted Peter Obi.

Thank God Peter Obi raised a timely alarm. It made them panic.

The individual in question stated he was invited for questioning and released but Peter Obi the new advocate for the North wrote on his page that he was detained just to seek sympathy and sound relevant as usual!

This level of sycophancy from Obi to the northern politicians is getting sickening!

Due to his very low IQ, Peter Obi does not know the difference between Arrest, Detention and Invitation.

He often speaks or writes before consulting his brain.

Why didn't they call you for questioning since, why after his visit. And what lie did Obi lie by saying you were arrested. Probably an aide or family member must have called Obi and told him what happened, and he in turn raise the alarm which must have made the authority release him so they won't face backlash.
All these data boys and minions with their rhetorics eh
