Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi said he is being deliberately misquoted in his public discourse on insecurity to cast him as supporting banditry in the country.
He threatened to sue any media platform engaging in such misrepresentation henceforth.
Gumi said this in a statement shared on his Facebook page on Saturday.
The retired army captain reaffirmed his love for Nigeria, maintaining that he would never any engage in any action inimical to the peace and progress of the nation.
The Kaduna-based cleric said, “I’ve noticed that I am being misquoted in some of my media interviews, public lectures, and discourse on how to address banditry in Nigeria.
“This is being done by certain ethnic-interest groups, individuals driven by prejudice, and some sectional internet content creators who use sensational and outrageous headlines to attract viewership at the expense of human suffering and sacrifice.
“I hereby state unequivocally that any video clip, written statement, or message attributed to me — whether directly or by innuendo — suggesting support for, justification of, protection of, or advocacy for banditry in Nigeria or anywhere else does not emanate from me.
“I am a loyal citizen of my beloved country, a nation whose potential I believe is unmatched anywhere in the world.
“I therefore urge the general public, the media, and the Nigerian state to disregard such fake, manipulated, and doctored materials currently in circulation.
“Furthermore, anyone who continues, from the date of this release, to circulate falsehoods against me shall be liable to legal action.
“I sincerely hope that our great nation will heal, and that all victims affected by this violence will find comfort in the collective determination of the nation and the international community to achieve a lasting solution to the insecurity fueled over time by ignorance, poverty, and widespread social injustice.”
