Kaduna Cleric Ahmad Umar Clarifies DSS Invitation

Ahmad Umar, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, addressed claims regarding his alleged arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS) after a visit from former presidential candidate Peter Obi. Umar clarified that he was not detained but was invited for questioning by the DSS, which he cooperated with fully and was released shortly thereafter.

He urged the residents of Kaduna State to remain calm and avoid any actions that could disrupt public peace, warning against taking the law into their own hands. Umar also touched on ongoing political developments in the state, calling for patience regarding legal matters involving former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

This clarification comes after Peter Obi expressed concerns about Umar's alleged arrest, which had circulated widely on social media.
