Controversial Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has issued a potent public supplication. On social media, he explicitly prayed for the exposure and divine punishment of all individuals, whether foreign or domestic, who are responsible for or benefit from the nation's bloodshed.

Key Points:
  • Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi posted a detailed prayer on his official Facebook page calling for divine retribution.
  • He invoked divine power against anyone who "initiated," "is behind," benefits from, or is even "happy" about the insecurity and killings in Nigeria.
  • The scholar prayed for such individuals to be exposed and punished immediately, without harm to the innocent.
  • His reaction comes amid a surge in attacks by bandits and terrorists, particularly on soft targets like schools and churches.
  • The deteriorating security situation recently compelled President Bola Tinubu to declare a national security emergency.
  • Gumi's public prayer adds a spiritual dimension to the national outcry over the persistent violence.
This public invocation plants a seed of spiritual accountability into the political and security storm, framing the crisis not just as a failure of governance but as a moral catastrophe demanding higher justice.
