Police detectives are studying audio and video tapes of the sermons in
which Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, asserted that the
late governor of Kaduna State, Mr. Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa perished along
with former National Security Adviser, General Andrew Azazi while
strategizing against Northern Nigerian Muslims, a top security operative
has told SaharaReporters.
Gumi allegedly affirmed that Yakowa
had been engaging in an anti-Muslim agenda, and that it was therefore
necessary to avoid the emergence of non-Muslims as governor of Kaduna
State in the future, a point that some senior citizens of Kaduna State
raised in a detailed memo in which they expressed concern that Gumi’s
weekly sermon was likely to cause serious ethno-religious crisis in
Kaduna town.
According to the source, the eminent personalities
from Kaduna are of the view in view of the volatile nature of Kaduna
State, urgent intervention and consultation has become necessary.
“The
prominent people from Kaduna State wrote the memo, and included it with
audio and video tapes of Gumi’s preaching,” the source continued. Gumi
in one of the tapes, which I will give you the Internet link, indeed
said that Yakowa and Azazi died while meeting on anti-Muslim issues. He
was also heard in the tape saying that, it was a plan with General
Gowon using the burial in Bayelsa as a cover up for them to meet and
that is why Yakowa followed Azazi alone without his ADC. Gumi in the
audio tape also said that the Muslims of Kaduna State should never allow
a situation that will bring about a non-Muslim to be governor, alluding
to the fact that it was Allah that did this (crash) for the impending
danger being planned against Muslims.”
He said the Kaduna
personalities who wrote the petition want action to be taken against any
clerics, Muslim or Christian, who preach incitement and hate.
