Nigerian Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, claims he’s on the US government’s list for elimination, allegedly mistaken for a Boko Haram figure. This follows US airstrikes targeting ISWAP in Sokoto, Nigeria, on Dec 25, 2025. Gumi received a call from an Abuja official warning him of the US plan.
Gumi criticizes foreign military involvement, saying it worsens insecurity in Nigeria. He urges northern leaders and clerics to speak out against what he calls false narratives and foreign interference.
The cleric blames the US for Boko Haram’s emergence and Nigeria’s deepening insecurity. He questions why Nigerian leaders and scholars remain silent amid foreign interventions.
Gumi’s allegations spark debate on foreign military cooperation and safety of influential Nigerians. The US Embassy and Nigerian Presidency haven’t officially responded.
