Insecurity crisis: Gumi curses those behind Nigeria’s bloodshed
Popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Thursday offered a strong prayer seeking God’s wrath on those behind the rising insecurity and killings across Nigeria.
In a post on his Facebook page, Gumi asked God to expose and punish anyone—local or foreign—benefiting from or contributing to the bloodshed in the country, while sparing innocent citizens.
He wrote:
“My prayer today: Ya Allah! Whoever initiated or is behind this insecurity and bloodbath in Nigeria, whether foreign or citizen, or has any benefit, material or otherwise, or is even happy that people are being killed, or willingly did nothing to stop it, may by Your divine power be exposed and Your anger poured upon them and punished immediately without harm to the innocent. Amin.”
Gumi’s prayer comes amid a surge in abductions in different parts of the country.
Last month, gunmen stormed the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, Oke Isegun, in Eruku, Kwara State, abducting several worshippers. At least 38 victims have since regained their freedom.
Similarly, 10 residents of Biresawa and Tsundu communities in Tsanyawa Local Government Area of Kano State were kidnapped last week. The victims were later rescued by troops under Operation MESA of the 3 Brigade, Nigerian Army.
