The State Security Service has invited Bishop Matthew Kukah for questioning, days after the prominent Catholic priest criticized President Muhammadu Buhari for failing to curb nationwide insecurity.
Bishop Kukah in his Christmas sermon, said President Buhari had failed to show competence as terrorists, bandits and other violent criminals embark on a coordinated and relentless rampage across the country.
“We also have lost count of hundreds of individuals and families who have been kidnapped and live below the radar of publicity,” Kukah of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto said.
“Does the President of Nigeria not owe us an explanation and answers as to when the abductions, kidnappings, brutality, senseless, and endless massacres of our citizens will end? We need urgent answers to these questions.”
The comment is the latest in a series of scathing remarks about the performance of the president in recent times.
The Gazette, quoting a source said the cleric was issued an invitation to appear at its headquarters for questioning.
