Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, an Islamic cleric, has stated that he was never invited or arrested by State Security Service (SSS) operatives and that the government is aware of his meetings with criminals in the jungles.
The SSS invited Gumi after he claimed that security agents colluded with bandits.
Gumi, however, disputed those claims following Jumaat prayer at Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna State.
