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, the former presidential candidate.
In Tuesday post on his X page, Obi alleged that Umar was arrested shortly after hosting him in Kaduna last Sunday.
However, in viral video which circulated hours after @PeterObi's post, Umar refuted the claim, insisting he was neither detained nor mistreated.
The cleric said he was only invited for questioning and he had since been released.

I was not detained by the DSS, I was invited for questioning. I cooperated fully and was released.
