I Have Been Marked For Elimination As A Boko Haram Member-Sheikh By US Army Gumi
Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has claimed that he was informed he had been listed for elimination as a Boko Haram figure on the same morning a US military air strike occurred in Nigeria.
In a video published on his Facebook page, Gumi criticised foreign military involvement in Nigeria, arguing that such interventions worsen insecurity rather than resolve it.
“There was a bombing here; the morning it happened, I received a call—I won’t tell you who called me—but I was told a security briefing was taking place and I was listed among those who would be eliminated as Boko Haram,” Gumi said.
“They claim to have come here to fight terrorists, but they are the actual terrorists.”
The cleric also questioned the response of northern political and religious leaders to repeated attacks by Boko Haram and ISIS-linked groups, expressing frustration over what he described as silence and inaction.
“Where are your leaders and what have they done about it?” Gumi asked.
He also criticised religious scholars, accusing them of failing to address false claims made by terrorists.
Gumi added that foreign support for Nigeria in the war against terrorism must not be restricted to Christians alone.
“They attacked us for false claims, and they give support of a certain amount of money to Christians alone. No country will accept that. Either you give support to the entire nation, or we don’t need it,” Gumi said.
“Nobody is talking; they are all afraid to talk. That’s the situation we are in this country.”
On December 25, 2025, the United States carried out air strikes against members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Sokoto.
The operation came weeks after US President Trump warned that the US would go into Nigeria “guns-a-blazing to wipe out the terrorists killing Christians.”
