Controversial northern Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has claimed that security sources in Abuja secretly informed him that his name was listed among individuals marked for elimination alongside members of the Boko Haram t+rror group.
Gumi said he received an early-morning phone call from an unidentified source who told him his name was mentioned during a national security meeting.
“They called me from Abuja, that there was a security meeting,” Gumi said. “They said I have been marked; that I will be eliminated. And who are Boko Haram?”
According to him, the caller said his name was among those allegedly listed for a§§a§§ination.
“Even American, they said they came to f+ght t£rrorists, so who are the t£rrorists? They are the ones.”
Gumi blamed the United States for the emergence of Boko Haram.
“They are the ones doing it – Boko Haram. You will hear something. Here won’t they put b@mb? he said.
He also accused former US President Donald Trump’s policies of worsening Nigeria’s insecurity and deepening divisions, alleging that leaders and clerics remained silent.
Gumi said foreign-backed narratives oppressed citizens and falsely portrayed Christians as the sole victims of insecurity.
“Because of lies, you brought v+olence, but where are the leaders, what did they do?” he asked. “What about the scholars? Where are they? Everyone has gone to hide in their corners.”
He argued that no sovereign nation would accept interference aimed at dividing its people.
“Which country would agree to bring something in just to divide its people? There is no country that would accept that,” he said. “It would say either you bring all of us together, or you hold us and hand us over to them.”
Accusing elites of abandoning dialogue, Gumi said Nigerians were left with “noise” instead of solutions.
“You brought us hardship, you broke us. You oppressed us, you denied us our rights,” he said.
Warning that fear and division were worsening the crisis, Gumi said inaction was h@rming the country.
“This is the kind of situation we are in,” he said. “It is dr+gging the country down.”
