Dateline Nigeria gathered that the scholar was summoned to the DSS office in Kaduna State, according to the Hausa service of the Voice of America, monitored on Friday.

The spokesman explained that what Gumi said was that people have been saying and “even the soldiers have been saying that there could be some bad eggs amongst them”.
