Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has claimed he received a secret warning that his name is on a Boko Haram assassination list, alleging the information came from a security source and linking Nigeria's insecurity to foreign interference.

Key Points:
  • Sheikh Ahmad Gumi claimed he was secretly informed that his name is on a Boko Haram assassination list.
  • He said he received an early-morning call from an Abuja source following a security meeting.
  • The cleric questioned the narrative of terrorism, suggesting that global powers are responsible for insurgent groups.
  • He accused the United States, and specifically President Donald Trump, of fueling Nigeria's divisions.

  • He criticised Nigerian political and religious leaders for remaining silent as the crisis deepened.
