Reacting on Tuesday, the cleric, via social media, described his meeting with security agents as a “productive interaction on how to curb banditry.”
Gumi said “only one person is above the law: the innocent.
“Last night I got many frantic calls from well-wishers and journalists about a news item that I was interviewed by security. There is absolutely no cause for alarm,” he wrote.
“Yes, we had a productive interaction on how to curb banditry as we are all trying — each in his own sphere — to tackle the monster bedevilling the nation. There was no animosity but courtesy and full of respect.
“We all need as a nation to unite and work in synergy to achieve an everlasting peace.”
