Controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has prayed for divine intervention to expose and punish all individuals profiting from or supporting terrorism in Nigeria.
Gumi, in a prayer shared via his Facebook page on Thursday, called on Allah to direct His wrath at those behind the country’s insecurity and bloodshed, whether directly or indirectly involved.
“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,” Gumi wrote.
Naijaonpoint reports that Gumi’s post comes amid continued concerns about the rising wave of terrorism and the alleged complicity of powerful individuals.
Gumi, often criticised for his controversial stance and outreach to armed groups, has repeatedly denied supporting bandits.
He maintains that his engagements are rooted in seeking peaceful solutions through dialogue where necessary.
In November, the cleric attributed the persistence of insurgency to the vulnerability of Nigeria’s uneducated and unemployed youth population, saying they are easily recruited and manipulated by enemies of the state.
