The cleric recently urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to pay the N100million ransom being demanded by the kidnappers of Greenfield University students in Kaduna state.
A Twitter user who wondered why the cleric hasn’t been picked up by the Department of State Services (DSS) over his comments asked Garba about what he thinks about Gumi's activities.
In response, Garba said:
“I think Sheikh Gumi would have to explain in clear times whether he is together with the Bandits/Terrorists or with the Nigerian people.”
Meanwhile, Gumi has claimed that Boko Haram terrorists are the ones behind the abduction of students of Greenfield University, Kaduna.
Media reports had previously linked the kidnapping to bandits operating in Kaduna state.
But the cleric in an interview with AIT on Tuesday, May 4, insisted that findings show that the members of the radical group, Boko Haram, orchestrated kidnapping.
In another news, a special supplication has been sent to the criminals that kidnapped students of Greenfield University, Kaduna state.
The Parents Teachers’ Association pleaded with bandits to spare the lives of the remaining 17 students, Punch reports.
Recall that the criminals had threatened to kill the remaining 17 students after having mercilessly terminated the lives of five of them.
Meanwhile, the presidency has said it is making efforts to ensure that the students abducted from Greenfield University in Kaduna are rescued.
In a statement on its Twitter handle on Tuesday, May 4, the presidency disclosed that the federal government is working with the Kaduna government and the relevant security agencies to rescue all the students alive.
The presidency also promised that the bandits attacking communities in the country will face justice.
