“Sheik Gumi or any other individuals are not above the law, if he has suggestions that are good enough and that are constructive enough for the security agencies to take, they will take but if they think that he is also making some statements that appear to be reckless, he will also be reprimanded.
“There is nobody that is above the law.
Idris then revealed: “Let me put it here. And I’m aware that he (Gumi) has been also a guest of security agencies to answer questions.
