Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has claimed he has been secretly “marked for elimination” by security authorities and labeled as a figure of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
In a video address to his congregation, Gumi stated he received an early-morning call from a source in Abuja who informed him his name came up during a high-level security meeting. “They said I have been marked, that I will be eliminated. And who are Boko Haram?” he said, questioning the narrative surrounding terrorism.
Gumi further suggested that global powers, rather than local actors, bear responsibility for the rise of insurgent groups. “Even Americans said they came to fight terrorists, so who are the terrorists? They are the ones,” he argued.
The cleric, known for his outspoken views and past mediation efforts with bandits, did not provide evidence for the allegation, and security agencies have not publicly responded to his claims.
