Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, has disagreed with the Federal Government over its recently released list of those linked to terrorism financing in the country.

The PUNCH reports that the Federal Government uncovered the identity of 15 entities, including nine individuals and six Bureau De Change operators and firms, allegedly involved in terrorism financing.

Details of the development were revealed by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, in an email sent to our correspondent on Tuesday night, entitled “Designation of Individuals and Entities for March 18, 2024.”

The document revealed that the Nigeria Sanctions Committee met on March 18, 2024, where specific individuals and entities were recommended for sanction following their involvement in terrorism financing.

Top of the list of individuals named in the document was Gumi’s ally and Kaduna-based publisher, Tukur Mamu, who is currently being tried by the Federal Government for allegedly aiding the terrorists who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train in March 2022.

According to the document, Mamu “participated in the financing of terrorism by receiving and delivering ransom payments over the sum of $200,000 US in support of ISWAP terrorists for the release of hostages of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.”

But reacting to the development on Twitter spaces organised by Daily Trust on Wednesday, Gumi, who faulted the list, explained that the security agencies had no right to label anyone a terrorist financier.

This guy should be arrested.

Because politicians can buy armored vehicles, they don't want to do the needful.

This man has too many guts to run parallel intelligence about the security problems in this country, but FG 're afraid to annoy people because of elections.

When you would have love to see the DSS in action, they are always missing when it matters most 🤓
Gumi enjoy ya life, u are indeed untouchable
