The Minister of Information and Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made this known to the media in Abuja on Monday
The Kaduna State-based Islamic scholar made his position known in his Friday preaching at Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna.
Malam Tukur Mamu, one of the negotiators and media consultant to controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who disclosed this, said through his singular efforts, he successfully negotiated the release of “another seven victims.”
The threat followed an alleged failure of the Federal Government to seek the release of the remaining hostages.
The terrorists, according to spokesman of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, Tukur Mamu, have given the Federal Government two- week ultimatum effective from May 30 to release their eight children in government custody.
Although the cause of the inferno was yet to be determined, it was gathered that the affected part of the residence is the area housing female students.
Gumi spoke in Facebook post on Thursday following the formal defection of Fani-Kayode in Abuja, also on Thursday.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Wednesday, was reacting to Gumi’s allegations on ARISE TV Morning Show on Wednesday.
Speaking on Arise Television programme: “Morning Show,” Gumi recalled that when the Niger Delta militants were blowing up pipelines, they were offered amnesty and were eventually given pipelines protection contracts.
Gumi said negotiation was ongoing for the release of the students of the privately-owned university abducted by bandits on April 20, 2021.
Pantami has however been struggling to disclaim the allegations. To buttress his declamation of the allegations, the Minister has been fighting frenetically to defend himself. For instance, though he admitted that he had been an Islamic preacher since age 13, he claimed that, in the last two decades, he had been invited and travelled to countries like Niger Republic and Katsina, Borno and Gombe among other northern states and his preaching was a singeing denouncement of Boko Haram’s ideology and Islamic fundamentalism.
Obasanjo and Gumi made this known in a jointly signed communique issued after they held a closed-door meeting at the Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, on Sunday.
Solutions to banditry, they emphasized, must involve ‘stick and carrot’ approach.
Retired Maj.-Gen Babagana Munguno, the National Security Adviser to the President, made the position of the government known at the third edition of Villa Media Briefing on Thursday in Abuja.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, said this in a statement on Monday in reaction to a statement allegedly credited to Sheikh Ahmed Gumi
Gumi said this on Monday during a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today.”
Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a renowned Islamic scholar, has advised the people of Kaduna State not to allow the Eid-el-Fitr celebration roll back the gains of almost two months in the fight against COVID-19.
Commenting on the controversial bill to regulate preaching in Kaduna State, Gumi said the bill had gone too far and was an infringement on the constitution.
