Primate Ayodele calls for arrest of Sheikh Gumi over comments on Wike, Christians

Controversial cleric, Primate Elijah Ayodele has called on security agencies to arrest Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi for his recent attack on Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and comment on Christians.

The Islamic scholar on Thursday, October 19 is alleged to have said Christians cannot be trusted with the security of Nigeria and described the minister as a "satanic person", Tribune reported.

Gumi in the same report called on President Bola Tinubi to remove as minister of the FCT and urged him to install a Muslim in the position.

Primate Ayodele then sent a warning message to Gumi against talking about Christians in Nigeria and allowing the minister to do his job, adding that whatever Wike does would affect everyone in the country and not Muslims alone.

He then warned President Tinubu to be wary of people like Gumi, adding that he was one of the forces who "dined with bandits and terrorists", and that if he was not stopped, he would likely destabilize the country.

Ayodele said: ‘’Tinubu should be careful of people like Gumi, he should be arrested and prosecuted."
