Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has again dropped a ballistic missile, saying that the kidnapping of school children in the country was carefully designed to promote what he called an “unpatriotic narration of Christian genocide.”
The cleric on his verified Facebook page said the situation is affecting children of all faiths.
His words, “The recent increase in spate of school children kidnappings are engineered to serve an unpatriotic narration of ‘Christian genocide’, and sadly for all, also Muslim children are kidnapped.”
Gumi described Nigeria’s security crisis as worsening, adding, “Insecurity in Nigeria is a burning candle, it will burn out Allah’s willing.”
It is in the public domain that Sheikh Gumi has been seen with bandits in the northern parts of the country, a move that is widely interpreted as a negotiation for the armed gangs to cease hostilities.
However, despite these, bandits are still wreaking havoc in different communities in Northern Nigeria
