'I Was Invited By DSS For Questioning & Released' — Kaduna Cleric, Ahmad Umar

 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.
