Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has condemned the Federal Government for threatening to sanction the BBC and Daily Trust over their recent documentaries on terrorism.
It was earlier reported that the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed on Thursday threatened that President Muhammadu Buhari-led government would sanction the platforms in due time.
Mohammed accused the news platforms of glorifying terrorists with their interviews.
Gumi in his reaction claimed that the Buhari government is trying to find a scapegoat to justify its failure.
He accused the government of wasting $16 billion in the last seven years without result on security.
