 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 FG: Gumi has been invited for questioning over comments on bandits’ activities


The federal government says Ahmad Gumi, the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, has been invited for questioning over his comments on the activities of bandits in the country.


Mohammed Idris, minister of information and orientation, spoke on Monday while addressing journalists at the State House, Abuja.


In recent years, Gumi has gained prominence for his comments on the activities of bandits.


He has been pictured with some bandits on many occasions.


Recently, the Islamic cleric reportedly offered to dialogue with bandits who abducted students from the Kuriga Government Secondary and LEA Primary schools, Chikun LGA in Kaduna.


The bandits attacked the community on March 7 and took away 137 schoolchildren and a teacher.


Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna, announced their release in the early hours of Sunday.


Gumi also accused the federal government of framing up its enemies by tagging them as terrorism financiers in his reaction to the identities of 15 entities released by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) for alleged terrorism.


Some groups have also called on security agencies to arrest Gumi over what they described as the cleric’s alleged ties with terrorist groups.


Speaking on the development, the information minister said the security agencies will do their work if they feel that the statements made by Gumi are “reckless”.


“The government will stop at nothing to get any kind of information that is required to solve our problems. The security agencies are up and doing,” Idris said.


“Sheik Gumi and any other individual are not above the law, if he has suggestions that are good enough and that are constructive enough for the security agencies to take, they will take


“But if they think that he is also making some statements that appear to be reckless, he will also be reprimanded.


“There is nobody above the law. Let me put it here. And I’m aware that he has also been a guest of security agencies to answer questions.


“When you make remarks, especially those that border on our national security it is incumbent on our national security to think further, and they are doing just that, no one is above the law.”


The minister said the federal government did not pay ransom to secure the release of the Kuriga schoolchildren, adding there is a zero-tolerance policy towards negotiating with bandits.
