Sheik Gumi Is The One To Link To Terrorism, Not Igboho – Eedris Abdulkareem

Popular singer, Eedris Abdulkareem has come out to react to reports saying Sunday Ighoho has a link with a convicted Boko haram sponsor.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is funny how Kanu, Sowore, and Igboho have all been linked to terrorism but Islamic cleric, Sheik Gumi hasn’t.

He added that Gumi has repeatedly made a case for an amnesty to be granted to bandits, so he is the one who should be linked to terrorism.
