Ahmad Umar, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, has refuted claims that he was detained by the Department of State Services (DSS), following a recent visit by Peter Obi, former presidential candidate.
In Tuesday post on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Obi alleged that Umar was arrested shortly after hosting him in Kaduna last Sunday.
However, in viral video which circulated hours after Obi’s post, Umar refuted the claim, insisting he was neither detained nor mistreated.
According to TheCable, Umar said he was only invited by the DSS for questioning. The Islamic cleric added that he cooperated fully with the secret police and was released.
