The army said on Wednesday that Sheikh Gumi's statement is both sad and unfortunate, adding that there was no reason for the Islamic scholars to deride the soldiers who lay down their lives always for the well-being of Nigerians.

The Nigerian Army has knocked a popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Gumi, for stating that some Nigerian soldiers were conniving with bandits and worsening the security situation in the country. The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, said these in a release in reaction to Gumi's statement in an interview on Arise Television. ]

The army spokesman said,"The sweeping allegation peddled by the scholar is not only sad and unfortunate, but a calculated attempt to denigrate the Nigerian military and undermine the sacrifices of our patriotic troops, who are working tirelessly to restore peace and stability across the country. "While the army will not attempt to excuse the possibility of black sheep amongst its fold, it must be stated unambiguously that it will not condone any form of sabotage or aiding and assisting the enemy by any personnel, as provisions for dealing decisively with such acts are crystallised in Section 45 of the Armed Forces Act CAP A 20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.

Okay

If it was Mailafia Obadiah, he would have been interrogated more than 5 times by DSS. Shame to this bigot in power

Let Fr mbaka say this and hell and brimstone will fall on him. You guys should continue rommancing Gumi, time will tell

JamesNkemdirim Just lambasts.......mehn, this guys are really funny......

They didn’t arrest him. They “lambasted” him. Ok 😂😂😂. Awon lamba Lords!

I mean if the president can appeal to bandits, what can't anyone else do? -

Lambast him? Is that the next thing to do? Why can't they arrest him and ask him to fish out his accomplice

terrorists attacking terrorists. HQNigerianArmy and gumi are the same

They didnt lambast anything instead they were patronising him. what a shame! How can the NA play over serious allegation of such...if its the ordinary Nigeria n your guess is as good as mine.

They do, he said the truth here. They collude for selfish gains and get their commission when ransom gets paid, that is why it will be difficult to rid the nation of them.

Did Gumi expect the army to agree with what he said, nigerian army is very good in hiding the truth from the masses but i know that their secret will be revealed one day and very soon.

The audacity of his words ain't from here. Yet toothless DSS or whatever can't invite him. Shey na me say make evil barbarians dey live inside forests?

The ongoing genocide by the Fulani terrorists herdsmen in military & police uniforms. MBuhari, enables Gumi & other terrorists organization in Nigeria. We refuse to be re-colonized again and demand a referendum. BritishNigeriaAmalgamation expired in 2014.

What are you doing with terrorist if you know his working with boko halam just like HQNigerianArmy & PoliceNG ALL of you same terrorist OfficialPDPNig as an opposition party is a disgrace at zoo politicians

Sadly, Gumi may be right on soldiers colluding with Bandits. Gen TY Danjuma also made same assertion some time ago. The fact that insecurity is thriving in Nigeria could simply be because some people in government and some in the military are probably profiting from it.

only Lambasts?

OkechukwuNwadi5 It's not a surprise to us. We know this long time ago. If you are surprised then think again.

Why can't this man be arrested?

Scammers!!

Just imagine

This is cowardice on the side of Nigerian army and FG. You are fighting bandits, yet could not apprehend one who solicits for them,and yet you seek solution to end banditry. Gumi should be arrested questioned! If you are true to your duties. Period!!

Remember the police that was crying of months of unpaid allowance, so I believe it is possible our forces engage is stuffs like this. This people need money.

The Nigerian army has used the last of their integrity to clean up shekau's ass. Everything about them is now so low. Buhari has succeeded in reducing them a bunch of dishonorable set up. Telling lies like they did at lekki, xtra judicial killings, robbery, Name it.....

Go protect your president n his family only ... We don't need u

Imagine if gumi was Father Mbaka, at this point it’s either BIAFRA or no living things will live again

A whole Nigerian army lambasting one insignificant figure head. What a pity

Had twitter not been banned, we would have known whether or not this is a FAKE NEWS. The Nigerian Army was always quicker in news defence than defending Nigeria.

It about time Nigerian institution leaders/organisation start lambasting this clueless Sheikh

Nigerian army lambast Gumi or they should be arresting him by now!!!
