FG afraid to investigate Sheikh Gumi ―CAN

Banditry: CAN asks Sheikh Gumi to retract statement indicting soldiers,  tackles Buhari – Punch Newspapers
  • The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has described as shameful, the decision of the federal authorities not to caution renowned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi over his alleged religious profiling of the military personnel combating bandits in parts of the country.
  • Recall that Gumi was reportedly quoted as saying, ‘What I want you people to understand is, soldiers that are involved in most of the criminalities are not Muslims. You know, soldiers have Muslims and non-Muslims. The non-Muslims are the ones causing confusion just to ignite crisis.’
  • The Christian body expressed disappointment that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government was “afraid” to condemn Gumi allegations and investigate him unlike it did in the cases of some Christian leaders who have been caught in the web of controversial remarks related to the pervasive insecurity in the land since the administration began in 2015.
