A prominent Yoruba elder has called on security agencies to arrest Islamic scholar Ahmad Gumi and the Sultan of Sokoto over alleged links to recent terrorism activities. He warned that no one should be above the law. Speaking at a news briefing, the elder accused both figures of undermining efforts to end kidnappings and violent attacks in the North. He urged government officials to act swiftly and decisively. The elder’s comments have reignited debate over the role of traditional and religious leaders in Nigeria’s security challenges. Supporters say it’s time for accountability, while critics warn against politicising religious offices.
